Unhappy

I've seen a few similalr threads, so please bear with me if this sounds repetitive to you! Any help would be much appreciated. I am 21 and have a ten month old son. I lived in Europe for the last two years, went to university, had a very well-paying job, partied endlessly. I got pregnant when i was 19, and although my boyfriend was initially very supportive, he left two months before our son was born. I returned home to Canada to live with my parents, as I didn't want to bring my child up in a crowded, dirty, expensive city. And life just seems to have ended.

I don't seem to have any motivation any more - I don't think I'd get out of bed if I didn't have to! - and my motivation should be my son, but I don't feel as though I've bonded with him in the way I should, and it terrifies me. I care enourmously for him, but I'm so frustrated at my ineptitude in getting my act together. I just feel so old - I love my son, but I feel as though I'm only going through the motions - it isn't what I truly want to be doing. I know that sounds terrible... but its honestly how I feel.
