Need advice

For some context, I’m F24 and the father is M24. We have a 3 y/o son together. Recently we’ve split up and I had to come to another state to help out my family and I brought our child with me.

How to do the long distance thing?
We’re both struggling in our own different ways. For example, I don’t have my license (I recently got a lawyer to help me with it) I don’t have a car, and I recently got a job making maybe $1100/ month.

The father who is 1000 miles away has a job making roughly $1600/ month? I think? He has a car but it’s a beater. He has “his own house” but it’s not. It’s in his someone else’s name and I just don’t fully believe it will go in his name until I see it written down on the proper forms. He also needs to have a major surgery soon.

In that house, they’ll be 4 adults (not including me) who dislike me very much to point it feels uncomfortable being around them even on the phone.

I can’t just kick the father out of our lives however I do have some concerns being over there, specifically the school system and the neighborhood. I trust the father to keep our son safe but there are people (in his family) who’ve done some pretty rough things in the past and I’m nervous about letting that happen to our son.

I’m considering after the holidays, letting our son go stay with his father until school starts next year. It’s not fair of me to just keep our son away from him, however I’m not comfortable being there. It’ll give them time to spend together and with his father’s side of the family.

A concern I do have is if I let that happen, I won’t be able to get him back. Now I don’t really think the father is like that but he does have a past of lying so it’s always a thought in the back of my mind.

Has anyone here done summer switch offs? Including small visits during the school year just to see them for a little while?

I also want to add that during the time he’d be with his father, I would work on getting a better job/ a real step into a career field. I would work on getting a car next tax season as well so I could drive out to go see them.

Once I’m more stable I’m more than willing to move closer if I can afford it.

Mixed son

Hello everyone. I have a mixed boy (B&W) and the father keeps stating that he’s just black. I’m not sure how to feel about it to be honest.

We’re currently separated over state lines and he states that he needs to be around black people. The area he lives in has a very high crime rate and I’m not comfortable putting our child through that.

On another note, I feel like he hasn’t really done much about teaching him what it means to be black. I’m the one always searching for diverse shows to make sure he has some kind of representation, searching on how to properly do his hair, and even educating myself more on black culture. This man doesn’t even take care of his hair, can barely hold up a job, gets his history mixed up and even makes “racist jokes” in front of our child.

Am I a bad parent if I’m not comfortable moving back into that setting? I want him to be comfortable with who he is on both sides. Would I be doing the wrong thing? I’m not trying to take him away from his father whatsoever but i am concerned about how our lives will be if we were to make that jump.

Any advice or help will be very much appreciated!

North side Tulsa

I need honest opinions about north side Tulsa. Is it safe for children? If you had the opportunity to live somewhere else would you? How’re the schools?

I’m mf bored w life

I’m 24 F and I’m so fucking bored. Little things I enjoy aren’t as enjoyable anymore, I don’t use social media that much except for Reddit to read other peoples posts. I don’t have any friends however I am a mom but I can only go so long before I need adult conversations, although my son is pretty entertaining most of the time. What do people who stay at home do? With or without kids, I’m running out of ideas

Idek

I think I’m close to a breaking point. I can feel something inside of me rising. Idek what I want but ik I don’t want to feel like this. I feel like I’m just a thing for people to use and discard when they’re finished or got what they needed. Not even just sexually but all together. Like people just use and take and take and use and it won’t ever stop. Why tf do I care SM!?? How can I stop?? I don’t want to be like this. I always say that this time I won’t let anyone in but I do and I always get burned every. Single. Time. I genuinely just want to say fuck off to everyone but I know deep down I just want someone who cares like I do. Is caring even a thing people do anymore? I mean in a way that people are more selfless than selfish.
