Being a single mother is TOUGH!! No father support sucks!!

[PreciousJ31008]

Hi, am a single mother of a beautiful 4 year old baby girl,my baby's daddy isn't in the picture at all, when I found out I was pregnant we were not together, when I found out I was pregnant I was 13 weeks,it was the most shocking news i received, I was happy and scared because I didn't know what to do,what my future was going to be like. I knew her father wasn't the best choice to have a baby with,but I decided to keep her. Now that she is 4 years old,I've raised her on my own for 4 years with no child support,no contact with the father. I sometimes look back and wish I had picked a better dad to go through this with,it is so hard being a single mother,working full time and doing both roles-mommy and daddy! I never talk about my daughters father with my daughter, I can't talk about it,it kills me now that she is older and she is going to ask me one day where is my daddy? I know I'm going to feel Like an awful Mother,she might hate me for the choice I made for not being with her father,I have all these thoughts in my head of what could happen in the future!! It definitley isn't easy raising a child on my own. also I have had another guy in my life for awhile,my daughter seems to be attached to him and asks me where he is,why isn't he around?! I ve been through so much that I feel alone in my situation and it's hard for me to see my friends with their kids and baby daddy's because I wish I had that "perfect family" picture. I try my hardest to make sure my babygirl enjoys her childhood and has a good future. (feeling alone sometimes)

I know how you feel my kids daddy passed away last yr and left me and 3 kids to care for yes i may have found someone else, but its just not the same. I hurts me seeing my friends still with their BD also.If you need someone to talk to im here to listen i hate seeing other mothers in this situation

 I LOVE being a single parent. My son does know his dad, doesn't want us together, and goes a few days every month or so. The other day, after a long night at work, I came home and asked my mom how she was in the living room and my son wasn't in there. I had forgotten I had taken him to his dads. He doesn't go often so I'm so used to him being home.

Your daughter won't hate you for not being with her daddy. My friends are like yours, kids and still with their babby daddy. My best friend was widowed so she is a single parent now, the other has been married for 10 or 11 years I believe. Your family of you and your daught is the perfect family :)
