[...] I definitely do. He was that nice and totally adorable guy who had the unfortunate luck to schedule a date with me just one night after my first date with John Bear. I met him on a day in the park with Benjamin but at the time, was also juggling the Tiger (more on him, by the way, in Ms. Single Mama Uncensored). [...]

I wonder if I'm more than a littel weird in that I sat here reading all your commentors and wondering if I was a lion or a tiger… and not that it matters, either, but just in the sense that one likes to know what category one falls in.

And to be honest, I don't think I can pin point it.

Which probably means tiger.

Just read a lot of your posts with interest! I find much of it hard to relate to as I am a "Lone Mother" (I thought of that phrase myself!) I have no problems with my Ex, cause I have nothing to do with him – not since BEFORE the birth. I have no parents or family (all died within 6 months of each other), and I am making this all up as I go along. People feel 'sorry for me', but I am just so glad I have no reason to go through any of the pain and anguish of other single mothers do. Custody, child support, family pressure, unwanted opinions… Not my problem! I often feel hard done by, that I don't have any support system whatsoever. Reading your site makes me realise just how FREE I am. Tonight I am exhausted. I might feed my children breakfast instead of dinner (they love that anyhow!) and I have no one to tell me I'm a bad mother for doing so. No guilt! (by the way I normally do cook dinner, but I am using this as an example!) My complete reliance on… well me, and only me… because there simply is no one else at all, makes it easy for me to make decisions. Like flying across the other side of the world and building a new life in the country with horses for me and my children. Single motherhood is liberating when you take away the "ex" crap! I listen to a few of my friends and the endless dramas, guilt trips, money problems… etc! Reading your long, long decision to become a single mom (OK it was forced), I was egging you on! Go on Do It! My kids are having a wonderful life with a happy Mum. I compare them to the kids who have a miriade of hurt and upset caused by the estranged contact they have with their dads and the bitterness extruded by their mums. The constant hate, tit for tat, guilt trips and often plain 'madness'. My kids are so centred and grounded in comparison.

I would prefer a lion, but seem only to attract Tigers. Maybe I should find a bear…
