youngmama - 986 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am not quite a single mom yet but I fear I may be. I am newly pregnant and am not sure if my boyfriend can handle it. I just turned 19 and I'm so scared. I thought he may have been more ready to accept it as he's turning 31 this year but I guess age is no measure of where someone is at in their lives. I don't believe I abortion or adoption and I have a lot of support from my family so I am going to try and venture on the tough road ahead. If he is willing to be there then all the better for my situation but I had my father in and out of my life and I don't want that hot my child. I just hope I can make it work. It would be a shame if he didn't want any part of it though he is a good man with a good heart he just doesn't want to grow up.

mother649808 - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I became a single mother after 5 years of marriage and 2 kids! My ex husband decided to become physically abusive. I grew up in that type enviroment and knew that not for one second would I allow my kids to have to go through that! So I had him locked up and divorced him and never looked back. I didn't have much of an education and lived in a small town so I ended up working at mcDonalds but I did whatever it took to take care of my babies! At times I would say yes I was less patient with them. Everyone has a breaking point and there were many night that I would be at my wits end and that's when they decided to fight! Lol! I eventually learned how to cope with all of the ongoing stress, got a better job, and 3 years later met the man of my dreams! My children motivated me everyday to go to work in this fast food resturant to make ends meet, to work a lil overtime so I could take them somewhere or get them a toy, and eventually to get a better job so I could provide them with the life the deserve! I wake up for my kids everyday and do the best I possibly can!

megandgrace - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am a single mom who has been single since the day i found out i was pregnant. I have a beautiful 17 months old daughter who i had when i was only 20 years old. Me and my ex were only together for about 8 months before i got pregnant but i have known him most of my life. I knew he had an addiction problem but was in recovery while we were dating but that turned out to be a lie and he was doing drugs most of our relationship. It sucks to admit that i didn't know but i truly believed him that he was clean. The day i took the first pregnancy test something happened that lead to him admitting that he was still doing drugs and i broke up with him the next day. I knew that i couldn't be with him and have a child with someone like that. I also did honestly think that he may change and straighten his life out but he didn't and he doesn't see my daughter. I honestly think that i have more patience because i am a single mom because there is no one else to turn to for help. You learn to deal very quickly because its all for the best for my daughter. She motivates me daily and the people who told me that i couldn't do it. I just graduated college and got the best job in the world for me, and i didn't take any time off to have my daughter because i knew if i stopped i wouldn't go back. Its hard but i feel i am a 200% mom because all she has is me!
