At first, I was kind of shocked to read this. Reading about anyone’s life on a blog can be kind of one-dimensional, and now we get a fuller picture. Thanks for the truth. I appreciate it.

You do sound incredibly grounded and smart. Good for you.

Of course, I can’t help but ask: What have you told Benjamin?… Will Kris still be in his life? (As you know, I’ve been there.)

Kuddos to you! Way to go! I’ll be in the cheering section living vicariously though you getting to be really single and dating again!

Don’t be sad…be glad you are wasting more time. And you know… you are his mother, you teach how to properly dump someone, otherwise make sure you tell next girl his MO.

Lauren – you’re right – he is in college after all…I’ve been there before, guess this is like a flashback. But all is well. You are so brave! I can’t believe you’re a single pregnant mom! You’re the first to comment on my blog and I really hope you keep us posted.

Miss Videos (John) – My child is being a raised by a single mother … his lifestyle will be different in that his mother is not with his father, and never was in his memory. Please feel free to read my post on introducing him to the kids – and the single mom dating conundrum. All I can tell you is that his health and happiness are #1 at all times – which is why being a single mom is one of the hardest jobs on Earth. Second only to hmmm…the Presidency? But a very, very valid point. Thank you.

Whilst of course, your life has to go on you too have to remember that your child is also growing up by the day. He needs some stability if his life just as you do too.

I just came across your blog yesterday, so I thought I’d pop in and leave a comment! I’m about to become a single mom in late March (or early April, depending on when this baby wants out), so it’s really interesting to see how other single moms are doing.

And sadly, breaking up over the phone is definitely a step up from the way my last boyfriend dumped me. He stopped calling me for about a week or so and then ended things over a Facebook message! (I would also like to add that I’m in college, and it seems like these quick breakups are the norm!)

I’m very interested to see how the dating goes for you!

Thanks Andrea! Actually…he called last night and insisted on coming over. It was a good thing. We had a very “proper good bye.” Our relationship was just too much for him to handle, given his crazy and unpredictable lifestyle. And in the end it was a nice, very nice, mutual decision. Bittersweet.

I will write more later tonight….so check back! And, yep, I’ll get right on that dating thing. : )

You seem to be handling it so well. And why shouldn’t you? It’s his loss. Wait till he actually is unhappily married one day. Maybe he’ll think of you and all the fun you and Benjamin will most assuredly be having.

There is definitely something to be said about being free. Now get to dating so I can continue to learn from you!
