The child is now 1yrs old. He told me he had another child in the world AFTER I found out I was pregnant with his second child. I told you I felt DECEIVED because he told me he didn't have children. He said, he thought she aborted but she didn't. I asked several times, but ppl lie and things happens. So, hey what can I do. When I say I found out after I mean; the child was already born.

But you seem to be a very strong person. I myself is tired of women (single moms) getting bad raps. I feel like society always blames the woman. "She should've never had sex with him." But some men are just animals; like bees, planting their seeds everywhere. I found out my soon to be child's father had a child by his ex AFTER (I do mean AFTER) I got pregnant. SO I was DECEIVED to believe that he had no children. I thought my child would be his first. I wanted to be the one who gave him a child. (pretty stupid right?!) But then after she took him to court, he said that he would not claim her child (he didn't want anything to do with her or the child). SOOOOOOO the chances for him claiming and taking care of mine are slim to none. Plus, his excuse was, "I thought she got an abortion." WOW! Now he wants me to get one. WOW!!! I'm tired of men screaming that they were trapped, you weren't trapped, be smart, but it's not fair for a man to KEEP making babies and forcing a woman to abort. That's not fair to the woman.

I opted to cut the cord of my 3 1/2 year long relationship with my daughter's father last summer *after* he bought a house for us all to live in. I do feel bad that I allowed our relationship to go on for as long as it did. I kept telling myself that if I just stuck it out, that things would change - HE would change. He's a nice guy, he really is, but he is completely clueless. I put out so much effort in our relationship, hoping that he'd step his game up and be the partner I needed him to be - and be the father that our daughter needed him to be. While I know he loves her, I always felt that it was out of obligation. The best decision I ever made was leaving. I even tried to stay in the same house and make our unfortunate situation a little more livable while I tried to get on my feet, but his hurt - over our break up - started taking a toll on my life. He eventually just started being... mean. I manned up and told my parent's I was coming home for a while. They luckily were there waiting, with open arms. My daughter is my entire world. She is the reason I'm alive, the reason I want to make my life better, the reason I am ME. I wouldn't trade this life for any other life - especially one where I was forcing something that just wasn't there any more. I'm finally happy, I have less stress then I've had in YEARS and I'm finally at a point where I know that I am the only person that can take care of us. I can't rely on anyone else. So yes, I love being single as well. The last thing on my mind right now is a man, because quite honestly, I don't NEED one. I don't NEED a man, like I NEED my daughter and her happiness. Now, if one comes along... I won't be blind. I'll definitely have open arms and and open heart. You know, I wouldn’t trade what I decided for anything in the world.

I am new to your blog and I am so happy to find some ladies to commiserate with! I was never married to my daughter's father, but at 33 and discovering I was preggo, I felt that I was ready to be a mother. Miss A is two now and has made me a better woman in so many profound ways. It ain't always easy, but given the choice, I would do it this way again. The funny thing is, is that I am very close to BD's mother, who was also a single mom, and loves being a grandmother. I have discovered the resolve that I needed to do this through so many strong and intelligent women who have gone it alone. The only thing I miss is sex, but, I am so completely happy and fulfilled, that it's sort of an afterthought. : ) Wow! I am new to your blog and I am so happy to find some ladies to commiserate with!

Is that the hormones too? Yikes, what a roller coaster you must be on!! I will tell you just as the rest of us will, being a single mommy aint all its cracked up to be!! I've been at it for 5 years, and I still have moments where the world is crumbling and I just wish....just once...that someone would help out. With anything. ANYTHING!! Think before you act! If being overly sensitive is an issue for you, think about all the rest of us on the other side of the spectrum...where the heck are all the men with emotions? ugh, no one is perfect, but if thats your biggest complaint....I wish I was you. Lauren,

I cant believe how real it seemed!!! But I commend you all for succeeding as single parents, just the thought of having to do it alone was terifying. Best of luck to you all.

He works a night job and stays up late to drink beer every other night. I don't know when he crawls into bed, but we never really go to bed at the same time everynight. I love him, but we are drifting apart and I feel that since we have a son together we should stay together. I've told him before that I am unhappy and that I would like us to be more involved with one another as a family...but I really don't see him putting in much effort. I am 22, he is in his 30's. I want to keep a budget, he could care less about keeping track of the money. We have different beliefs in the world. I would have no place to go if we broke up. No money unless I lived with my parents...and that is the last thing I want to do. Being a single sounds nice.

He keeps his fishing tackle and hunting stuff soooo organized...but when it comes to everyday household chores...he could care less, he thinks that household chores is only doing the dishes....but when he misses the toilet...who cleans that up??? I do. I have to ask/tell him to give our son a bath. Asking him more than once turns into telling him.

For instance, he says how he’s lonely if I dont text him during the day and that “sometimes he needs to be held and told that everything is going to be alright”. To me, and maybe this is stereotypical, but all of that’s just weird. I am so not attracted to a guy who needs that kind of reassurance, emotionally. I mean, once in awhile if there’s like a tragedy or something but I feel like I am more attracted to a man that has the feelings of, well, a man… does that make sense to you guys?
