I was chatting with a friend, a mom of two kids who has dumped her ex good for nothing bf who by the way has no work, and is even hurting her. And she asks me if i think it is okay for me to see my mom happy with another man (other than my dad).
I told her if i see my mom happy and i find the guy sincere... i will not mind her finding her "love", and her "happiness". (my mom by the way is separated from my dad already).
And she said she thoughts that maybe she will not find a partner anymore - that she is bound to be a mom, and be single all her life.
I told her, no - i told her that she does deserve to be happy and i am sure one day she will find her happiness.
How about you? do you think single moms still have the chance in real love?

True love can be possible for anyone. just because you are a single mother doesn't mean that true love is out of your reach. The heart does not care if you are a single mother or not. it only knows when true love exists.

Why not? This is another example of people being down on women in general in terms of attitudes. Why do we not hear this from single dads? I've known plenty of them. My husband was a single dad for a long time.
Do you think that women are more parental and forgiving and ready to take on things than men? In some cases that may be true, but I don't see those qualities as gender specific.
There are so many people who are discouraged and sad and believe they will never find someone to love who loves them to share their lives with - because of whatever circumstances in their life - joblessness, children, age, education - look, we are ALL in the same boat. Everybody has something to get through or to overcome. There are so many people out there, don't you think in all those billions, there's a chance to find 'the one'? I do.

Hi! I do think single moms can love again. I don't see any reason why not. The children could find a new dad a blessing. For as long as the mom makes the right choice this time. Sometimes we could love on the rebound and make a wrong decision. And sometimes we justify love with something else. And a wrong choice could affect not only the mom and the children. Tough decision, I know.

Of course. Everybody has a chance to be happy. But she needs to be careful in choosing the man since she has two kids now to consider. will this man accept the kids as part of the package? If not, then she must not think twice. Her kids must be the priority in here.

Of course there is still a chance. Just don't jump into the first opportunity that presents itself. Everyone deserves to be happy. The only thing I would be leery about is bringin a new guy around the kids until it is known that this is definitely real and in it for the long run. I've seen too many kids hurt because they got attached to a new father figure only to have him disappear from their lives.

they have a chance of love - there is no rule which applies to them as well this rule does not apply to single people too - rules do not exist for finding a god partner. just realize that some people spend their whole life alone, searching for their soul mates.

Yes of course she will still find a new lovelife. Even she is old enough as 60 plus older she will find for her, a companion in life that is deserving as a husband. We are living in the world full of love so every body has own destiny or having their own partners because we are created as woman for a man.

I was a single mum with two children and i found a man.I am with that man and we have nearly been married 14 years and in total we have 6 children,two of which were from my first marriage.I will also add my mum and dad got divorced and my dad remarried and my mother just had a partner that she has been with 16 years.So there is happiness to come,it is not the end of the world,it is a new start.

Whether single, single moms or widows, I do believe that every one has a chance in true love. The 'status' might one way or another have factors on how one has a chance in finding a partner, but there's always that chance. For single moms, I guess the challenge would be is more on how the future partner relates to the son/daughter, and vice versa. But if there's true love, nothing gets in the way. Wouldn't it be nice then knowing that love still sprouted in such circumstance? Now that should really be inspiring. Tell your friend not to lose hope. She has the same chances like a single woman has in the game of love.

For a single mom with two children, it all depends. We cannot definitely yes or no as it needs to have a chance and some time before they love each other. Anyway, I wish your friend good luck to find her true love, one who does care about her. Take care, chiyosan.

If there is one thing in the world is that there is nothing impossible. Finding true love for a single mom is not impossible. But the thing here is asking the Lord for the right person and waiting on the Lord till he gives you the right person. Rushing on things would only makes matters worse it means bumping another Mr. Right Now and not Mr. Right God Meant For You. So you have to guard your heart if you are a single mom or a single person and give the Lord all the desires of your heart.
