I just finished reading your book. I was pretty immersed in it from the moment I purchased it. I really enjoyed your stories. As a single parent who's divorced (we'd rushed to get married after 4 months of even meeting) and raising a toddler (who is absolutely amazing), I could really connect with what you were saying. The realization of why we like bad boys made me laugh. I am so guilty of that. I've just started getting into the dating scene. Now, I have a lot more confidence in myself and I'm happier with who I am.Your book had me sad at the end-- because there wasn't more! :) But I look forward to reading more of your blog and your adventures.

I really enjoyed it and pretty much read it all in one sitting. It's so pertinent to me at the moment. At that time a guy I really liked had told me he just wanted to be friends which devastated me after I thought he'd promised more. I need to go back and re-read it now that we've entered a new stage in our relationship. After being friends for a couple of months, he recently asked me if we could start seeing each other. It's very early days but I want to give it a go. I enjoyed reading about the Bad Boy Complex as I have been attracted to too many bad boys and it's taken me a long long time to get over this.

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:39:20 +0000 http://mssinglemama.com/?page_id=4077#comment-14155 I recently got to read your book and I don't even know if I possess the right words to describe just how it made me feel! I cried, I laughed, and then I cried some more. I have been experiencing that feeling of "entrapment" for two years now and I know how hard it is to get out and get some "me" time. I feel like every time I can peek above the hole I seem to have found myself in, something else comes along and I slide back down the side to the bottom to start again. But I have learned to follow that "gut feeling" and not doubt myself as much as I once would. If anything, as my situation continues to worsen, I have started to understand myself a little more and how strong I can be. And I have the greatest motivation in the world. Every morning when my little boy so warmly and harmoniously awakens me with choruses of "Momma!" over the baby monitor, I have my reason to keep going, to keep fixing everything that seems "broken". And I want to say thank you! Thank you for having the courage to put your story and your experience out there for us "singlies" to read about. Thank you for letting us peek into what you went through and know that we are not alone in what we're going through and that it does get better. It'll take time and probably many more tears, but I will get there. In the mean time, even though single motherdom was not how I envisioned my future (Yes, I did want that house with the white picket fence the dog and the yard with a family to boot!), I know that I was meant to have my beautiful son and even if your dreams don't end up turning out the exact way you wanted them to, it doesn't mean you give up on them. You take a step back, rework them, and keep believing. Hope is a tricky tricky little bugger! Your book is amazing, it's hysterical, and it's insightful! And you are an astounding writer!

I wrote up a little blurb on your incredible e-book on my blog, but it is worth repeating here, simply because I loved it so very much! Thank you for telling your story. <i>"In my internet travels of the single parent variety, I've met some smashing blogging cohorts. We are a very distinguished group of people, and "meeting" and getting to know them is one of the great pleasures of my life. Last Fall, I stumbled upon Alaina's blog, and the two of us quickly became online buddies, sharing commonalities between our exes and current situations, and even meeting in late Winter. She inspires me with her candor and willingness to keep her heart on the front lines of love. She's come out with an e-book that I've had a sneak peak at, and let me assure you, it is fabulous. It's a compliation of her blog posts tied together with stories so many of us single (and non-single) parents can relate to. Plain and simple, it's good stuff."</i> Hey Alaina!

I just finished reading and wanted to say thank you. I'm a married mama from the Midwest and my daughter will be 2 in October. I had the pleasure of hanging out with a single mom recently--a girls day and night out. We couldn't be more different in our backgrounds, but we traveled together so well and had a most excellent time. I'm thinking I've gained some perspective from reading MSM. So thanks again from another reader who's on your side, hoping the very best for you. Cheers to you and your family, Lisa Thanks for sending the book along. I just finished reading and wanted

I am also a single mother and since i am only 21 i do not have any single mama friends to discuss the different experiences and emotions that we go through with, but reading this book has helped me in SO many ways! Everything that Alaina talks about while telling her story is something that any sinlge mother can relate to. For me at least, it seemed like this book was custom made for me. I believe that after you read her whole uncensored story that those of you who haven't really started to heal can finally begin the process, and those of you who aren't single mama's can truely appreciate what a single mama has to go through to be also be a GREAT mama! Thank you so much Alaina for sharing this story with us! I obviously LOVED it! Okay for anyone who is on the fence on whether or not to buy this book…DO IT!
