Maybe I’ll post a lot and see if anyone responds.

My kids are 13 & 11. I guess I can only say I’ve been a “single” mom for 9 months. But my ex was more like another child than a partner, so can I say 4 years?

I am not a single mom, but my kids are close to your ages. Some men are much like children and need to be handled like children. My husband is not a child, but he can do childish things.

I will just stay single, I have two children. I definitely don’t want to take care of another person.

My husband is usually good at looking after us. We both work and contribute about the same income to the household. He is a good dad, but has his moments. Sometimes I need to tell him what to do, and when I do, he does it without question. If I give him his garage and buddy time, he usually responds well to everything else. Being in the Army, he has many buddies.

I have a few single parent friends, and in my legal business, work with single moms all the time. One day you will find someone who compliments who you are. Single parenting is not that easy. While I am married, my husband deploys frequently and for long periods, so I have a really good idea of single motherhood.

Don't plan singleness into your future Bubbs. I know its intoxicating and addicting. But so will meeting a handsome man that sweeps you off your feet, sends you flowers at random and takes you and your kids on vacation.

As for me, single mom since my little one was born.
My ex just stopped trying when my 6 year old was born. Poor kid misses him but i can't allow him around my kids without supervision, i might never see them again.

This single life is giving you the opportunity to find out who you are at your core, it'll give you a chance to do what you want to do. A wonderful man will come along at some point and when he shows up you will be willing to give up that piece of yourself that you're afraid to lose now.

I don’t know if I want it. Twice. I tried twice & it failed miserably. I think it’s the universe telling me that I’m healthier, stronger & better on my own.
And laying on my couch, not doing a thing & no one asking me why, today...feels so perfect 😀
