My girlfriend and her kid are sleeping at mine tonight

I just thought I'd share, but I (25m) have been with my current girlfriend (29f) for a year now, and I met her kid the second week knowing her.

It's been amazing and she's just perfect but doesn't tell herself at all and doesn't see it in herself and I'm not his dad but her son is just the sweetest boy he's asleep in my mum's bed, as my parents are away for the weekend and me and my girlfriend don't live together (yet.) We all spend as much time together as possible and he(7 years old) is conked out after a bedtime story and a lovely day after being calmed down after a scary shout across the street a few hours ago getting him scared, and I had to tell my girlfriend she was loved by me and everyone she knows as she was feeling awful and unworthy of my love due to her bipolar and her low self esteem.

For anyone in a similar situation make sure you love those who are close to you, the world might be a shitty place but love those who mean the world to you and never judge them, just help them and be there for them there's so much bad in the world but it's outweighed by the good by so much

I'm just waiting on the day we find a place and get to live as a family eventually. I'm going to marry her one day (we've agreed a timescale if we're still together and I know we will be) and he (the 7 year old) asked me to be his dad today (I'm not but it's his choice and not right now, I'll do my best to help him always hes my best friend.)

It's been a good day today, we went to the cat café and just snuggled all 3 of us. It's just been a wonderful time.
