Thank you all for replying. Yes, I know I made the right decision. There is something abot being a mother that just changes you. Everything from your thinking, actions, soul, mind and I would even say my blood. There are times at night when the last thing a do is double check all the locks in the house and how at thoose very moments I am so grateful that some drunk guy won't come stubbling in.
I can breathe again. My son is safe because of me, because of me! At times raising him alone can be difficult I cherish the fact that God has given me this blessing and gather my woman warror strength and do the best that I can do.
