Horrible.

 
I am having a very hard time staying happy lately. I really miss Gabe. I really do. I try not to think about it because when i do, i get sad, angry, frustrated, and some other emotions I can't explain. Honestly, I feel like a terrible Mother. I don't even feel like a mother anymore. I am up here with my aunt, having a good time while my mom is down in Florida taken care of MY CHILD. My CHILD who i should be taking care of. It makes me feel like shit every single day and i feel like a bad mom because i am basically living with my aunt, and going to the movies, and shopping, and going to a concert next month... I feel horribly guilty for all of that. I am up here staying with my aunt to try to further my education. I really want to get my GED so that i can get a good job or maybe a career so that i can make a better life for MY SON. But in the process of all of this i am doing fun stuff and it makes me feel incredibly, horribly guilty. I've been trying sooo hard not to think about the fact that my son Gabe isn't with me, because if that's all i thought about, i would be a huge emotional mess. I feel like deep down inside i am fallen apart because i really miss him and it hurts. no one understands, it seems like. I really wish i didn't feel this way. I am trying sooo hard to stay happy, but in the process, i am slowly falling apart. Especially when i see other mothers on my facebook page with their children or taking care of them

Sweet one do not feel guilty, you are not at your aunts just having fun, you are also working to get your GED to better your life.
A mother\'s love is amazing and so much more is the King\'s Love for us.
He knows what is in your heart and you need to see this too, you need to forgive yourself and go on so you may have joy in your heart and not let the worries of what type of mom you are in your own eyes.
See the mom you are in Jesus\'s eyes and love yourself for that.
He sees your future dear one (read psalm 139) He also knows your past but he loves you so much, that the past has been erased when you come to Him.
I felt this is was for you to hear

It seems like your doing what you really need to do. You also need to take care of yourself which means doing things that make you feel good and happy. I think mothers sometimes forget this which maybe detrimental to kids. Good luck with your GED and creating a better life for your son.

In the long run, you are doing something to help your son. Try not to feel guilty for allowing yourself some pleasure. You are not staying with your aunt as a punishment, it is to further your education.
