liyah27@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of the very angry sport fan ?151·10 days agoMy abusive ex used to yell at the tv when his team would lose or do something stupid. His alcoholism only made it worse and he would often take his anger out on me.

liyah27@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?571·10 days agoBroke single mom here. My H&M usually offers a buy one get one discount on boys’ cotton boxers, so whenever I buy a pack for my 12 year old son, I grab myself one as well and they serve pretty well as pajama shorts which I pair with a cheap oversized cotton tee.

liyah27@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•How do bikinis not feel just as exposing as underwear?125·12 days agoWell considering I’m going to be around my son and other family members that’s not really possible lmao.
liyah27@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•How do bikinis not feel just as exposing as underwear?22·12 days agoIt’s more of the general exposure of my midriff, cleavage, and cheeks. But I’ll probably just say fuck it and rock it anyways lol.
Now that you say this, I had a talk recently with him about me wanting to date again and the possibility of a stepdad
Honestly I felt like I slept a lot better lmao
He tells me he gets scared at night as well. He also has diagnosed hyperactive ADHD which might make him restless at night.
Typically his physical/sexual abuse was only directed to me behind closed doors and never towards our son. One night, he came home super drunk (Suffered from alcoholism) and started loudly yelling at our son randomly. I stepped in and he slapped me. That’s kind of when I decided I had enough, and I told him to leave. He broke down and I convinced him to go to rehab and I ended the relationship.
I have a pretty good relationship with my parents now. They definitely help me with taking care of my son every now and then. They are kind of pressuring me to try dating again.
When I first told them I was pregnant, my dad was pretty pissed initially and my mom was super disappointed but they kind of cooled off and became more supportive which I appreciated.
He does have diagnosed ADHD, but thanks for the advice, will definitely try this.
I had him when I was 15!
Edit: No worries, most people are usually surprised when they find out I’m a 27 year old mother with a 12 year old child.
I work for part time for quest diagnostics and as a waitress on weekends.
I don’t interact too much with my son’s friends, but they are usually pretty surprised when they see me. I remember opening the door when my son’s friends came over for the first time and one of them asked if I was his older sister!
My relationship with my son is pretty great. Recently he’s been kind of his pre-teen era but we’re still very close. I feel like being a younger mom also helps me relate to him a little more.
Thank you but honestly I’m disappointed in myself for not leaving earlier.
