For me its my 3 year old daughter...when i was pregnant i told myself that i dont care if she'll grow up without a dad by her side because i think me and my family will be enough for her (although her father visits her once i a while thats she forgot about her dad often)but suddenly it changed...because shes starting to asked why she doesnt have a dad in our house..it breaks my heart but i dont know how to explain it to her the way she can understand...if she only knew how much i love to wake up orsleep with someone beside me or someone i can say goodnight,goodmorning and i love u everyday and everynight...( shes very smart and talkative).Its painful for me that im watching her growing asking alot of why's...i just hope that one day i'll find someone who can love her and accept her.Im getting emotional now,hahaha.Let me know guys whose that someone who changed the way you think?is it someone in your family?a stranger or your special someone?

My husband was the one who changed the way I think. When we were not yet married, he always tells me that I should not always pay attention to detractors or gossipers or those people who are trying to pull me down. I do not believed him at first because I was a person who always wants to consider what others are saying and I always want to defend myself. After learning a lot from him and after taking into consideration the points he told me, I then realized that I should just live a normal life and just worry about us and not what others think, feel or say. As long as we are not doing any harm to them, then we should just mind our own business no matter how envious people are around us. I am not saying that we are always right, and I still respect other's opinions and emotions. What I have learned that in order to have a life that you want, you should just listen to yourself and not others. Besides, it is your life and not theirs. In your case, I am sad to know that you do not have a partner but I hope that someday you will be able to find the right words to say to your daughter in explaining to her the situation. That age is really the so called "sponge age" because they will really ask anything and everything even if they won't be able to get the truth about things around us. Anyway just try to explain to her that it really happens, that some kids don't have a dad because that is what God wants. And tell her she will know better when she grows up. But don't ever tell her that she will have a dad someday because we do not know the future yet. And you do not want her to be expecting and getting hurt in the end. Just a piece of advice. And also look on the blessings you have more so that you will have enough courage not just for yourself but more for your daughter.

I really wish that you could find someone who will love you and your daughter and accept both of you. And I really want you to be happy because you deserve it. Just pray that God will give you the right person in the right time. For the meantime spend your time to your daughter and cherish every moment!

Raising your child alone does not makes you any less, so is growing without a father. There are so many people who in one way or another touched our lives and taught us the values that we could learn from a dad. But back asking if there is someone who did change my life and my disposition, definitely there is. It was rather strange because we were together for one day and the next day the person was gone for afterlife. Its not the person that changed you actually but the circumstance. It taught me to be thankful for the time spent together and not to be bitter because at one instance in my life i met the person who warmed my heart.

my partner. I used to just look at things in a very hazy rose-tinted way, but he's so logical that he really makes me think of the what-ifs. Maybe a little too much but he's opened my eyes to everything going on around me.

I have a friend whom i really liked...I just dont know if the feeling is mutual but i really like her and everything she says is much more like law to me. Im trying my best to do every thing she said, although i never tell her that she have this effect on me. When i hear her say something its as if i need to listen shes got this power over me lol its very obvious like right now that im telling you about her all i can think is her hahaha.Its not just physical attraction my liking over her exceeds that attraction.Hard to understand and hard to express but thats what i feel and shes the only one who can bend my position in almost every beliefs that i have. Pretty dramatic huh lol thanks for sharing your cute topic and have a great day

What i think everybody has someone like that who just change the way you think. For some it would be their parents, best friends, lover etc. hi Zsarhea you really look like a strong woman, and one day she will have answers of her all Y's. In my case its my fiancee(will be marrying soon) who have changed my thinking, attitude towards the life. Now im a changed man. Thinks with lot of responsibllity and have to think about on those topics, on which i dont want to think.

hi zsarhea, i think most parents people have changed their ways of thinking after having their children and while they are growing coz their life is no longer theirs alone and they think more for their child than themselves. i guess. in my life, there's a lot of people who have changed my way of thinking, my late grandmom was one of them her wisdom & advises have taught me a lot of things about life. my husband, when he came into my life he gives me hope when all along i thought that our family is hopeless that time due to my parent's problems... and most of all my parents. i used to think that there will be no more hope for them to change specially my father who has been into a lot of troubles and bad habits and some kind of addiction before. i thought that he will never change anymore no matter what because even if he tried he still coming back in doing such thing and so i though once bad always bad. haha but he proves me wrong and when i saw him really changed like a new person, leaving all the bad things in the past, leaving those bad habits, the addictions, and everything even the bad company, that makes me think that everybody can change and have room for improvement specially if he wants to. that no matter how bad a person might be, he can be better and very good. now i am proud to say that my father is a good family man and a strong one being able to leave all those things he has in the past for the sake of our family.

Every one i met changed me a little but most of all my girlfriend because i spend a lot of time with her and she is so simple and positive and fair. We do have ups and downs like everyone else but still i learned a lot from her, like i actually mean a lot to someone(and not only my parents). Hope you find someone to take accompany you and your daughter
