Needing a break

[Elizabeth_07]

I've been raising my son on my own since the day he was born..Yeah i had friends and sisters around...But he was always at my side..for a while he would go to my friends moms (who was like a grandma to him) everyother weekend and i enjoyed that break...but for the past year. i had maybe 4 breaks that lasted overnight. any other time my son was attached at my hip. im not complaining. but when i see other mothers my age even younger who hardly had there child and were going out all the time..i got a little jealous. i wanted to be able to hang out with friends with out a 2 year old tagging along...well 2 months ago i got my freedom...my brother came to visit and when he left he took my son with him...my kid was now 8 hours away for 2 weeks...i was lost without him..when i planned on letting him go i thought i would enjoy the break. go party go out with friends whatever i could that i missed out on in the past 2 years...well the night he left reality hit me..my baby was miles away and i already wanted him home...everytime i left my apt i felt like i was forgetting something.. not once while he was gone did i go out or party...i called all the time to talk to him and after 3 days of him being gone, he broke my heart...i called to talk to him and he threw a fit cause he did not wanna talk, and it continued like that the whole time he was gone...when i got to my parents house 2 weeks later he was already in bed...so i kissed his cheek and let him sleep...the next morning he wouldnt come near me like he forgot who i was. by that afternoon he was attached at my hip again. be fore he would go in another room he would look at me and tell me not to leave him, i would have to certain him that i wouldnt b4 he would go play...i loved it.. i will never regret not being able to go some where kid free ever again..brecause that was the worst two weeks of my life.
