This is a great place to find support. I am still a single mother and hopefully within the next few weeks I will be a single mother of 2! Sorry to hear things didn't work out I know how hard it can be to think of doing it alone. Hopefully you have some friends and family by your side to help out a little bit!View Thread

I am a 22yr old single mom of DS(2)... so I know where she is coming from, but at the same time, I hardly ever go out or do anything. My mother tried to regulate who I had my son around and that caused problems, so I also know this can be a very touchy subject.
The best advice that I can give is to not turn the issue on her... don't turn the conversation into an argument and try not to make her feel like she is a bad mother. She may be the best mother in the world but is making some selfish choices. talk to her about going out only once a week or so, and try to find times that someone else can keep the kids. ...
I wish you, your daughter, and the grandkids the best of luck! Hopefully it all gets figured out without any arguments, because thats another thing the kids don't need to witness!View Thread





Any advice on how to go about keeping my child safe from pain, but still find love for myself? I'm 21 and because of the pain I caused my son from one failed relationship, I'm ready to give up on love! HELP PLZ!!!View Thread

He had more than enough chances. He was in his life until he was 3months, then disappeared for a few months, begged his way back, i allowed him another chance, he walked out again at 10 months and then got court ordered visitation 1 day a week when my DS was 13 months. Now, Sperm Donor hasn't seen him since he was 16 months old. Sunday he will be 2 years!...
Make sure you keep track of the visits he does have and the ones he cancels just in case! Hope it works out better for you than it has for me and my DS!!!View Thread

DB and i were together almost a year (on & off) before i got pg and stayed together my entire pregnancy. He was abusive physically and mentally. He cheated on me and after my son was born, I realized that was that last thing i wanted for him. I left him when DS was a little less than two months old. Best choice I've ever made. Since then he has been in and out of his life but mostly out. DS is almost 2 now and doesn't even know who Sperm Donor is. But SD claims that he doesn't have a kids anyway... His loss!!!
When DS was 4 months old, I met an incredible man and he and i were together for over a year. He had a daughter and together we made a family. Eventually we started fighting and our work schedules forced us apart. In october he left, after 2 months of trying to make it work. Still, to this day, DS calls this man daddy and asks for him.
Its been a long, bumpy road but my family and BFF have helped me through the most challenging of times and I know that DS and I would not have made it without them!...
You girls are strong and I hope you realize that you are the best thing for your children and no matter what, keep your heads up and know that God sees you struggling and if you're doing the best you can, whats meant to be will eventually find a way to be!View Thread
