I miss my babyboy so much.

No one knows the full story or how the son was affected. Maybe in time he can resume contact but he has to want it. Punishing yourself won't help in any way I would not go to a therapist,must rehashing but others do and say it helps them. I think to myself, can I alter the past in any way, have I learnt anything from it, can I put it right, then move forward.

You may not feel sympathy is warranted youngMan but thankfully there are some here who do, not for what happened but for the repercussions.

Whether or not you feel sympathy is warranted is no excuse for unnecessary unpleasantness.

Repercussion doesn't mean that something is out of someone's control youngMan. It means the unintended consequences of an event or action, especially an unwelcome one; which is precisely what's happened here.

A ridiculous comment youngMan. Raising a child alone which the OP did, takes a great deal of maturity, hard work and self sacrifice.

Teenagers aren't the only ones who can feel horny youngMan, it isn't only reserved for the young.

Do you believe in forgiveness at all?

And there it is, the real reason for the nature of your posts youngMan; you're estranged from your own mother.

Posts are motivated by many different reasons that's true, and some like yours are motivated by projecting anger and bitterness onto others.

I dont see why.

Helps for everyone to see lots of perspectives in life.

Seems a little weird to discount someone's entire point of view because they estranged their parent. Estranged adult children have just as much right to be here and share their opinion. And yes, our experiences have colored our perspective, just as estranged parent's experiences color theirs.

Some here seem rather threatened by that and it makes me wonder what they are denying about themselves. It hard to keep up so much denial and I can understand the urge to control the narrative to protect yourself.

OP did something really messed up. People mess up all the time. Maybe it's time to accept the consequences and move on. Forgiveness is not guaranteed and it's best to remember that BEFORE sleeping with your son's friend.

Who may well be the OP.

I haven't discounted someone's entire point of view because they estranged their parent User, the posts are unnecessarily unpleasant and would be had they come from an EP.

Could be Allira.

I see they've been deleted.

But not the OP.

Good. They were toxic.
