Self-Esteem / by hardworkingComputer4652

...See more Hi, I hope I'm not intruding. So, for starter, I'm a French speaker but I do hope you'll understand my English. So, I'm a 33 (almost 34) mother of a 5-year-old child (son). Last year, in June, I asked for a divorce because of domestic abuse. A relationship of 14 years where consent was just a concept and my needs only issues for him. I wanted to go over it quickly... but he was found guilty of physical abuse on our son. I had the full custody of the little one for 4 months and, even found guilty, I need to reintroduce him to my qon's life in cas the family judge, for the divirce, ask for a shred custody. While dealing with that divorce, the back and forth between the counselor, finding an appartement and learning how to live alone, I met two persons. The first one is a work colleague, so not really a meeting. It lasted 6 months, and we decided to stop due to my strong emotional dependance to him. The second guy I met him on *** and, after 2 weeks, he told me the same : too "needy" of reassurance and that he liked me but wanted to keep it simple. So here I am, feeling unworthy of everything, feeling that my son should be with his father and that he'll be happier without his socially and mentally ill mother, completely alone and facing a truth I didn't want to face : I don't know how to live alone (even if I'm not with the little one), I'm still an emotional dependant, and I reply to much on how the other treat and value me to feel good. I tried breathing exercises, it seems I'm not able to find gratitudes, I hate myself (2 things I liked, my eyes and voices) and I'm feeling unworthy of everything...
