[quote=Anonymous]I do have an emergency fund, no debt, and yes my son is thriving. I want to give him his own bed and bedroom but we are fresh off a year into single parenting and it has been a real trip. I was lucky to snag this apartment when I was in the middle of a woe is me moment which I fought hard to ward off.  But there are times when I definitely feel like I’m not doing enough let alone give myself enough credit. I trade in a car for no commuter benefits but a 30-35 minute commute. We don’t eat out but he eats healthy. Yes we creep up from an English basement apt but it’s beautiful and the rent is 1450. The owners came to my volunteer workshop and after getting to know eachother + their volunteering efforts gave me a discount. I am keeping this thread because I heard some good advice even if the pills are tough to swallow. You’d think I would know what to say — when my son asks why he doesn’t have this or that—but the fact is I don’t. I’m stunned and shame creeps up. It just does. But here I am.. and thanks to everyone that has chimed in. The virtual hugs are necessary. Very necessary. [/quote]
