Buon giorno!
I know it is hard. Now you need to heal and concentrate on you. Your work, your son, your goals, your core values. Start your journey today.
Find gratitude and joy no matter how small today even in your hurt. Read back your first post, your T was right spot on. All the women friends online... .sigh are a sure sign trust me. Friends are great we both know that, online women that are single as "friends" are nothing but trouble. I am not talking in general helping, nice information ways friends. I and you know exactly what we mean here.
You want to be his one his only, and this man was not capable of that. You know what you want, what you deserve, accept no less any-more.
Watch for
flags, find out why you accepted or were drawn to this ( likely he mirrored what you were looking for, or worse you felt bad and started care-taking). Introspection, self love, self respect, self healing all begin with you. Start today, identify, then heal that.
Work on fun things for you, your son, live life to fullest. When ready again look for a real man. I usually don't say that on here, but well you are a soul sister I can tell. We deserve better in men or the ones pursuing ( make him prove his worth next time).
One more thing think of our Italian ancestors, ... .they would not put up with this... .
We should not either. Hugs from one that has a little "Sicilian" and Irish in here. Geez where is my temper, must find that again... .LOL ( keep your balance and your sense of you, your humor and above all your value)
Blessings,
