I am 35 and a single mom of a gorgeous and extremely handsome 3 year-old boy. I live with my son, my mom and my brother. We all tend to help each other out whenever needed. I am unemployed due to disability that started after I lost my father in Jan of 2000. I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety/panic disorder w/agoraphobia, insomnia, asthma, IBS, severe migraines and last but not least fibromyalgia. Everyday is a struggle but thanks to my little guy, it is now worth waking up in the morning. Medically, I was told that I would not be able to get pregnant, so in Jan of 2004, when I found out I was pregnant with my son, I was overjoyed!! It wasn't the most ideal situation because his father and I hadn't been together very long, but I didn't care... I was going to have a baby!! That was all that mattered to me. This was my little miracle and I was so happy and excited!! This happened to me for a reason and I was going to enjoy and savor every minute of it!!

Being a single mom is very difficult and I could never have done all this without the help and support of my family. I only wish my Dad was still alive to make our home complete like it use to be. A big part of all of our lives have been changed forever. My Dad was the glue that held the family together.

Making friends is difficult as you get older. At least that is the way I feel. The friends that you use to have now have their own husband's and families, move away and move on with their own lives. The only contact that is made is an email here and there. I understand that once you have a family that is the most important thing, but I don't think that you should forget your friends completely.

I would love to find other single mom's in the area to relate to. Maybe even get a playdate together after we get to know each other. I know there has to be other lonely single mom's out there, so I am reaching my hand out to you...
