Now that you say this, I had a talk recently with him about me wanting to date again and the possibility of a stepdad

Honestly I felt like I slept a lot better lmao

He tells me he gets scared at night as well. He also has diagnosed hyperactive ADHD which might make him restless at night.

He does have diagnosed ADHD, but thanks for the advice, will definitely try this.

I had him when I was 15!

Edit: No worries, most people are usually surprised when they find out I’m a 27 year old mother with a 12 year old child.
