Today, at midnight, I heard my son calling for his mom. I stopped by his room and asked him what was wrong? He didn't tell me. Instead, he said: "Oh, I don't need you." FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my son was crying because he wanted his daddy, and he asked when he can see him. I had no idea what to say, given his dad left us in the middle of the night last year, now lives in another country, and told me he never wants to see us again. FML
Today, my oldest son answered my phone call much to my surprise as we haven't spoken in a year. The first words out of his mouth were, "I didn't mean to pick up the phone." He then hung up. FML
Today, I came home from work. I was really tired and told my son that I would make him dinner later. He called the cops saying, "Mommy won't feed me." FML
Today, I saw my son. I didn't know I had a son. FML
Today, during an argument, I finally told husband that I feel like he doesn’t love me or want me, but keeps me around because it’s easier since we have kids involved. I told him I would sleep in my son's room. He responded 15 min later saying he didn’t need me to. Needing and wanting are two different things. He doesn’t love me. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. I said that at least I was always there for him when he needed me. He said "When did I need you?" FML
Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML
Today, despite the fact that he knows I need help, my recently turned 18 year-old son found an apartment and moved out, leaving me alone with my three toddlers. When I asked what I’m supposed to do for childcare, he just said, “Not my kids, not my problem. Ask their dads. Bye.” FML
Today, I came home early, and my boyfriend's car was in my driveway. Inside, he was talking to my parents. He walked right past me and left. My mother then says, "He wanted me to tell you it's over." FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML

I know that it sucks to hear something like that, but sometimes kids are picky about who they talk to/ need for certain things. I know growing up, and also even now, that there were moments when I needed my mom instead of my dad. Try not to take it too hard, he will need you many times in the future!

Imma be honest. I thought this was going in an entirely different direction.

This probably a bad question, but how old is your son?

I thought the kicker would be that you’re the step mom, but this went WAY different

Maybe he didn't feel that you'd comfort him if he had a nightmare, or that you'd tell him to toughen up. Sometimes dads don't give a gentle touch and when they're scared, they want that over tough love. I could be all wrong, but you are two different people with different ways of handling different situations. Maybe he just doesn't like how you do it. On the plus side...at least you won't have to get up at midnight to comfort him.

This is a good opportunity to teach him that you're just as approachable and willing to help. He must learn that his mother can't be available for him all the time.

I know that sucks but soon there will be a time where he'll need you and not his mommy.
