Original Reddit post

I am a 27 year old single mom to a wonderful 4 year old. Dad is absent and I have severe mental health issues but have been mostly stable for a couple years now. I feel as if there’s no chance I won’t screw my son up - what can I do/did your parents do that helped you feel secure/happy as you grew up, especially if you did not have a father figure.
