single mom

Yes it is hard being a single mon but it does have it up sides too. I was a single mom of 4. The youngest was 6 anf the oldest was 13 when I had had enough of that older child. (The husband that didn't grow up) Your baby might be better off with out that man for a daddy. If yoou get help fro mm social services. they will go after the father and since he is a woman beater that might not be a good idea. he might come after you for his haveing to pay chaild support. Get connecte with a bible believeing church. If they are worth their salt they will help you by giving you morle support and show you how to get other support that you need. Hang in there we know you can make it.

hi hon, I am a single mom...difference being I am older and still raising. You have the right idea and the right thinking. You left the man that was beating you...kudos to you! How many women there are that stay in abusive situations. ONe thing that really strikes me about your post is the pride you show...you are going to go to school and working to do what you have to do. You are a prime example of why the welfare system was created. If you have to go on it..just to get your schooling so that you can better the life of your child then you should let down your pride and do it. I have no problem with a portion of my pay going toward someone like you. The problem is that most people that would not abuse the system...are the ones that won't seek help. I am giving you the advice given me when I was working my little tail off trying to raise 4 children. It took alot but I finally did get some assistance for a short time...just long enough to get on my feet. It all got paid back in withheld child support later on. Do what you have to do to support your son.

I would like to say...congratulations to you! You got out of an abusive relationship and are raising your son. It is great that you have goals and dreams and want to go back to school. I would say just raise your son with morals and love and the rest will fall into place. Good luck!

I high respect for single parents raising there children. It is good that you were able to get away from that sort of situation krystalh4arbonne. Know one should have to live that way. Good luck with pursuing school. I hope it all works out for you.

It is good that you are no longer with the man who was beating you. There are too many women who stay in such a situation thinking that things will get better. They almost always get worse, so I am glad that you are no longer in that situation. I am also a single mom, although my children are older. Just be strong and do what you have to do for yourself and your son. I wish you the best of luck.

i admire you and wish you all the best. my mother is a single mother and has four kids. she was in a similar situation with my father(different father than my other siblings). i have a lot of respect for women who can raise a kid by themselves. i think they are really strong and it takes a lot for them to go through everyday having to work for their child and at the same time for themselves. good luck with everything and may god be with you and take care of you and your child.

I have five children and can't imagine how hard it would be to be a single mom . I have a lot of respect for all you single mom's out there who do this everyday even though it must be so hard at times . You are a survivor as well and you sound like you would be very good at helping others out weather it was as a lawyer or working with children . You know what it was like for you and would be able to help others out in the same situation you were in therefore you would understand how hard it really can be .

Be strong my friend!Life must goes on .Now you have a big responsibility,especially with your newborn baby!

What has happened is happened,let us hope for the best, as you said concentrate in the Health field,in future unless you are sure don't get into any sort of relationship. There will be ups and downs in everybody's life but we should be able to get over that by the grace of god

Singal mom means love to me only.Always care for me.Always carry with me every day and every time.

it's really hard to be a single mom, being young and alone, you have your baby that gives you strength and by bringing him into this world is already an achievement. bury the past and move forward. keep your chin up. my prayers..

A single mom story is a man with a woman born a new child then man having leave the woman..it's sad story..i will telling man also don't do it...we must be responbility to every new life of a child..when the come to the world..they need the become a useful people..so i very hate the unresponbility man to live a woman be a single mom...

hi, being mom with dad is hard enough wat more with single moms. well be tough girl, its good that u left the daddy coz it will be for your own good and your son too. maybe next time u should think of the circumstances of whatever u are doing. dont get preggy again sweety unless the father is ready to provide for you and yopur kids, goodluck sweety.

sorry for u krystalh4arbone hope u r ok now.

I felt so sorry for you. Reading your post, I thank for what i have now. My husband is really love me and care for me. I think you are very strong woman, and you will be the best mother to your son. Sometimes, the thing can not work out, you have to walk away. But don't carry hurt with you, because it won't help you anything in your new life. And don't transfer the hurts to your son, let he grow up to be a good man wit happy, joy and bliss.
