Comments on: Things I try not to think about: What if’s? and Whys? http://mssinglemama.com/2008/01/29/things-i-try-not-to-think-about/ Single Mom Dating? Real advice from a real single mom.

The grief part is still raw. I still ask myself why and what if constantly. Its been six months since I separated and its been hell. Dating has been terrible and I was unemployed during the summer. It seems like everything is falling apart right now. I still try to negotiate with my ex over trying to fix our problems with useless results. Our baby is 2 and a half now and she is doing pretty great. My only fear is the she might absorb my grief and anxiety. However, I am sure this is not going to last forever. Thank you for letting us all know that we are not alone, and yet not everything is lost, in this single-mommyhood voyage. This is exactly how I feel. The grief part is still raw.

I have reached the 1 year mark of being a single mother. Like you, Jordan's father left when he was very young, 6 months old, and now he is a year and a half. The past year has been the hardest and darkest of my life. All my married pregnant, or married with kids friends give me the line that "but having Jordan makes it all worth it, right?" with a gleam of the-glass-is-half-full in their eyes. I don't know how to tell them, "I don't know." Your blog gives me hope that life gets easier, that dating is possible as well as success. I could write forever, but I just want to say thank you.
