Single mom 32F to a sweet 6 year old boy. Problem is I was dealing with a bad marriage and during my healing stage I feel like I disregarded my son and turned him into an iPad kid. I moved in with my mom and she gives him only that due to her poor health as well and it’s always iPad after school. I’m also too worn out after work and give in. And now I have news that I might have to work in another state and I’m terrified of how I will manage my son and my job and control his screen time. Any advice of what I should do? Should I get a live in nanny? I really need this job but I don’t know if I’m mentally equipped to handle everything on my own.

Being a single mom (32F)and divorced means there’s probably no time to be lonely but it’s been almost two years since my separation. I tried dating apps. They were nothing but overwhelming because being an emphath I locked in conversations and found it difficult to carry forward although I respectfully left the chats with prior notice. My friends tell me that the right person will prop along. I’m a total optimist at heart, a lover girl but that angst and loneliness that builds up one in a while is so defeating. I keep busy but I guess once in a while it’s sucks to feel this way like you are incapable of being loved. I wonder what other people in a similar situation feel like?
