I recently concieved a baby boy and i'm afraid of raising him alone with no father or man in his life?

Answer 1

Things seem scary now but once you realize that your little bundle of joy needs you, and depends on you....you will find the courage and strength to overcome your fear....trust me the majority of women who raise their child/children single handily were once afraid, and they manage because that little life is depending on you..... sometime being a first time mother is a little scary when you feel you have no one to back you up, but once you acknowledge that you will put your fear to one side in order to be the best mother you can be....this is not about whether you have the father at your side or not the most important thing is your child always keep that in mind, and you will never lose sight of what your suppose do as a mother....i believe you can do it on your own have a little faith.....that baby needs your love and attention, the father of your child dosent he can defend himself.....that bay cannot, and needs you to be strong for both your sakes....i wish you all the luck, and take one day at a time, you'll be alright, just have a little faith.

Answer 2

So find some men to bring into his life. I don't mean boyfriends for you, I mean mentors for him.

Do you have brothers? A father? Male friends you respect and admire? A church with male leaders? Local youth sports teams with male coaches? Families near you who will have children his age with fathers in the household? All these people will be male influences in his life, especially if you make a point to see that it's so. If that's not enough, there are Big Brothers programs, as well.

Be the best mother you can be, support him, teach him values, and have a wide circle of family and friends who love you and that you are both close with (and who will help you keep an eye on him!). You'll raise a wonderful young man.

Answer 3

First of all, do NOT be afraid. Without a doubt, children need a male figure but they do not necessarily have to get that from a dad. Raise your child with an abundance of love because that is the most important thing. I am a young lady who was raised by my dad and I am so much better for it compared to my other siblings who were raised by my mother. As your child gets older, you could always have him join big brothers and big sisters, or even a sports team where a coach would give him a positive male image to look up to. But don't worry, you will do great.

Answer 4

My mother managed to do it successfully. It will be tough but as long as you have a good support system for your child he'll be fine. Make sure you enlist the help of men at church and other respectable men in the community. There are countless mentor-ship programs out there for young men without fathers in their lives. They helped my younger brother out a lot. He learned simple things like how to tie a tie and more complex things like how to respect women and be responsible from his mentors as well as the men in our family. You can do it. It'll just take work. Pray on it.

Answer 5

Do not worry, usually single mothers love is more concern then the parents love. I have seen most of the successful men are usually brought up by single parents. I am sure now, your attention will be purely to you Son and there will be no diversification. Your goal will be achieved because your aim will be your son.

Answer 6

that's a tough one. i'm sure you'll find a guy to help raise this boy. my mom did. i don't know what the deal is with my biological father, but i've never met him. the only dad i've ever had is my technical "step-dad". but as far as i'm concerned he's my "real" dad. but if the boy is old enough to remember life before a man comes into your lives, you need to explain to him what happened. why his biological father wasn't there. i wonder that to this day, and it used to hurt me so much. but i realized that dad is all the dad that i need.

Answer 7

Iam really proud of you raising your child alone my mom did it with two girls and so can you ,your child will be a wonderfull young man who will appreciate women for thier worth and thats a good thing and there will be a man who will love you and your son as if he is his own.

Answer 8

Don't be afraid, we are on the modern age now. There are lots of women who are single parent and succeed on it. You can address your anxiety with your family and friends.

Answer 9

trust me raisein him alone would be alot better then bringin a man into his life that may not be right for you, only get someone when your ready, do it for yourself and not just because you want a man in your childs life
