I’m a single mother, proud and grateful for my teenage son. We’re a great team, he’s safe with me and we communicate with respect and love We trust each other, and I think that’s why our relationship is a success. I’d really love some of your stories, from the men here who grew up with a single mother. Preferably if it was just the two of you, like it is for me. What things did your mother do, that you hold closest to your heart now, that helps you through the hard times, or that has helped you become the person you are today. I want my son to continue to be a safe person for himself, and also for others. I want him to be happy and proud of himself. I want him to love himself with ease and without ego when he becomes an adult. I want him to have everything I never got: love, support, friends, companionship, and hope. And if you’re reading this and didn’t feel much love from your mom growing up: in another dimension I’m there hugging you and telling you everything is going to be OKAY, that you can always trust that I’m there for you, and that you should be so very proud of the person you are ♥️ Sincerely someone who wants to give every kid in this world the love they need! submitted by /u/NightStar_69
