I was with my sons dad for 5 years, I finally called it quits after he cheated and didn’t really do anything to “make it up” or change his ways. The last conversation about our relationship I asked him basically to not cheat again and his response was “I’ll try my best.” So I ended it because that’s not enough for me. His best obviously wasn’t good enough if he was able to do it 3 times with 2 different women. I find myself getting bitter because I didn’t sign up to be a single parent (like most of us) I work overnights 10-6am I get home at 6:30am and my 5 year old is up every single morning. It’s like I put him to bed, go straight to work, then come home and have to steal a nap here and there because I feel guilty sleeping during the day if he’s up, at most I’ll get 3 hours. It’s making me bitter because even though his dad didn’t help with much when we were living together, he would atleast keep my son occupied until I woke up. Not having that little bit of help is really drowning me. He’s in school 3 days a week for like 2. Hours for pre k ( signed him up late so couldn’t get him into the all day/ half day program across town) so I’m literally on go from sun up to sun up. I hate to say it out loud but I’m miserable. His dad gets him 1 day a week and it’s usually just for a few hours and then he’s right back with me. I feel like pulling my hair out most days . OH! I also own a cake decorating business that started taking off when covid first started so usually during the day I’m baking and multitasking to keep my kid occupied. I really don’t enjoy life right now, it’s not fair
