Search Results: single parents

Long ago my mother made a complete fiasco in my relationship. She acted like a bully towards my boyfriend and I felt powerless to stop her. She tarnished his image to my father and others; accomodating things to her own distorted version, demonizing him. She went out of her way to trash him to every single close family members.

Too much has happened and at times I have nightmares about it. Her terrible words ''I have to separate you from him any manner'' or ''I hate his guts, I'll just pretend if he ever comes to marry you, I hate him'', ''He's using you'' and other things keeps repeating in my mind over and over.

It affected part of my self-esteem. I'm kind of sensitive. I can't deal with drama nor animosity. I can't ever fall in love with anyone else as a result and I'm childless. We would've had a family by now already. I'm scared of the same thing happening if I were involved with another man. I don't even trust my own judgement. I don't even know how to handle a relationship either.

I'm a single mom and I have multiple sclerosis and I struggle with mobility. I live in WI my parents live in Iowa. My mom told me they were no longer going to come to WI cuz my dad doesn't like the traffic in Mikwaukee. Keep in mind, my sister lives in St. Louis and they visit her 3 times a year. So my parents came to WI to see their friends who literally live an hour from me. They arrived on Sunday gonna head back to Iowa on following Saturday. On Friday night, they text my oldest son (18 @ the time) and told him they had been with their friends all week and they wanted to take him and his brother to breakfast the next morning before they head to Iowa. They never called and asked me how I was doing, if I needed help with anything, absolutely nothing!! How should I interpret this?
