This will be short and sweet. That boy that you gave birth to, no matter his age, is not the love of your life.
He is your child. It Dont matter the sacrifices that you made. It Dont matter the sleepless nights. It don’t matter what you did to keep yourself afloat, that boy is not your man.
Stop raising these boys in hopes that he’ll reward you in some kind of way. You’re raising someone else’s husband. If you’re pissed his daddy left you and you had to make sacrifices to get to where y’all are, well newsflash that boy gon leave you too.
It’s his birthright. Having a life of his own is his birthright. He will leave your house, he will meet someone else or not… but he will leave you to build a life on his own.
I hope our generation has more loving mother in laws,less judgmental mother in laws. Because most of these women be monster in laws. Hypocrites. Your son is not your man. Dont try influence his decisions then be mad when he does what he chooses to do.
These mothers be raising these men to do things they hoped their ex partners would do for them and that’s great but he will be doing these things for someone else. Of course your child is allowed to take care of you when he chooses to but still remember your place. You rarely hear stories of bitter father in-laws but my gender is just special.
One more time your son ain’t your man. He ain’t the love of your life. Go download tinder if you have to.
Let’s not forget the sisters who are also on this table. Y’all are weird… mind your business and let another woman enjoy her relationship ship in peace.
One day at a time
