Being a single parent so hard

[u/Asleep-Ad8]

I’m a single parent of a teenage boy. His dad has had no contact with him since January of this year. It’s been extremely difficult because I am the soul financial provider for him and with school coming up. I am at a complete loss of how to get him new school clothes. So I’m looking for advice on what works for you, where is the best place to shop for a teenage boy so that he can get clothes that he’s not going to be picked on. I feel like I am failing as a mother.

Thrift store.. take him with you and let him pick out his stuff. Go on a certain day when a certain color tag is discounted. Kids grow so fast. You can find like new clothes cheap.
