When I got myself pregnant, I went away to spend the rest of my pregnancy at a single mother's temporary home. Only my grandmother knew about it and she was the one who saw me out of the house that early morning. I returned home a few hours later because my parents texted me that they weren't angry and that they needed me here. Later that evening, my grandmother told me that I shoulnd't have returned. I was angry at her because I thought she was the one who hated me for what I've done all along. Later after she died, I realized that she was right and that I should have stayed away not because of the reason I thought of but because my parents were punishing me for getting myself pregnant. I realized that she did tried to help me and maybe later, I'd take my son away from here and live in peace.

my greatest regret is not finishing college.. I mean i know i could go back whenever i want but its just the fact that back then it was just me.. now i have a son which should encourage me to go back asap right??? I just wish i would have did it then vs now.. i hate my job that i have and i keep beating myself up about it because i know i can do better.

When my marriage was starting to fall apart, I started doing inaapropriate things. My family found out about two years into my use and took my children from me. While I was getting clean, my children spent three years living with their grandparents. My biggest regret is starting my aweful behavior because i lost three years with my kids, and i dont want to miss anymore time with anyone I love due to selfish addictions

Compared to your story, I dun think any of my regrets count because the biggest regret is to fail my exam and that was more than twenty years ago and i have got through it.
I am nosey so I want to give advice. Whatever is happening now you just have to be patient and strong. Start thinking what to do to make your situation better.
You have a goal which is to take your son away and live elsewhere so thats a good start. So it is time to realise it. Stay focused and dun let anybody put you down. Whenever you feel that you cannot take it, grab your son and go take a walk. Even though you want to leave, you have to be realistic and leave only when you can afford to.
All your patience from taking all the abusive will make you a better person so you just have to be focused.
