I’ve been struggling in my relationship for a while now. My son’s dad is gone to video games. He wasn’t this way when we met or when I got pregnant so I had no idea what he would transpire into as time went on. So now here I am with my son who’s almost 3 years old. His dad is addicted to video games he plays for 10-...

Content Creators?

I need a buddy to do YouTube with. I'm going to be making content that's controversial and I'd like to get feedback before I post it. Is anyone else on YouTube? Maybe we can bounce ideas off each other and learn together?
