Help me please...

*sigh* Guys. I'm screwed. I can't afford to live on my own (with Leith, obviously) and I think my chances of being accepted for tenancy are screwed anyway because I fucked up in the last month of my last rental and now I'm pretty sure that real estate agent thinks I'm ridiculous and won't recommend me to anyone. *sigh* I fucked up. But it is

Ohhh...ok, you are not fucking up his childhood! Seriously, what is your earliest memory? Mine start at Kindergarten, so why would he be perceiving this as bad. Remember kids "normal" is whatever you make "normal".
Second, yes, doing this alone is amazing and I think sometimes the reason I try so hard on my marriage is that it scares the living shit out of me how I could do this alone. Because, yes, 2 incomes, even 1 solid income makes it easier to do more than without it. You get support from your ex, yes?
I don't know you or your finances, but I hope if you can't find a house, you can at least find an apt or a roommate or something. It sounds like you have an awesome family that can help too.
I wish you the best. **hugs**

I agree with thatgirl over you not screwing up Leith's childhood. If there's anything that I've learned as a result of my childhood, it's that as long as a child has at least one loving and devoted parent - which you clearly are - he or she will turn out just fine. And you're far more overtly loving than my father used to be, so at least Leith will never be in doubt.

I also moved around quite a lot when I was younger; overseas move when I was 5, then three different houses between 5 and 9, then interstate when I was 9, and three more houses between then and now. I don't think all the moves had too great an effect on me... and I don't think it will on Leith either, as long as he feels he has some roots and some constants that remain so regardless of where he is.
