You don't need a man in your life to be complete or be happy. I am recently divorced and I am quite happy with my arrangement. It is far worse to live your life with someone who makes you unhappy then to be alone. I work full-time, go to school part-time, have wonderful friends, and a great family, which are reasons to be proud and happy about. Even more important is my daughter who makes my life complete and gives me a reason to smile everyday. By the sounds of your question, it appears that you may be dependent on the love and company of another for your happiness which is fine to a degree but you have to make sure that this isn't your only basis for happiness either. You need to do things on your own that you enjoy and have a life outside of your family just for you whether it be a class, going to the gym, pursuing some sort of hobby, or just spending time with friends. It is good to be in a relationship with someone that you love but just because you love them doesn't mean that they should be the only thing gives you a reason to smile in your life. (I hope I communicated this correctly). Good luck and take care and know that it can be difficult to be a mom/dad whether they are single or not because its one of the hardest but most worthwhile jobs one can ever have and yes one can be truly happy without the love of a man.

Being a single mother does not mean you will have a miserable life. Im single and I enjoy my freedom. I have a beautiful 3 month old baby girl and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I chose not to be with her father because he is not a good man. I rather be single and happy than be a miserable relationship with someone that I don't love.

Concentrate only on your offspring. Put your kid(s) First, second, third,... If something should come along then by all means be my guest. By putting yourself in last place, things will have a nice way of working out for themselves. Don't try so hard. Put your priorities in order.

there are lot of ways. your responsibilities are towards your self, your kids, society at large in that order. as you long as you do enough for each then i dont think there should be a problem. as far as honesty is concerned i guess each one have their own reasons for being dishonest. some can share and some do not bcos of being shy and their own personal needs. wont mind chattign with you.

It seems tough but a lot of times single moms have a lot of support from other people...family, neighbors, friends.

I am married, but I might as well be a single mom with how much time my lump of a husband is around. If it wasn't for his paycheck-he'd be gone
