You can do it and your children don't require a male role model. I did it and I know that you can also. Ages of my two were 3 years and 5 years old and I raised them alone. I did trust in God. I think that He and I did a pretty good job. Just take one day and one problem at a time and you can make it.
Good luck.

It's not easy being a single parent in any respect but you are their mom and you love them. The best thing you can do for your kids is just keep on loving them and be there for them.Don't ever try to force any kind of relationship with a guy thinking it will be better for them. It will only bring disaster and they will probably suffer for it ..... so will you. Remember that there are many influences that touch their lives outside of home and your kids will learn much from many different sources.They will be fine ..... just listen to them : )

YOU can give your kids everything they need. Friends will come and go, but YOU will always be there for them. You hear stories all the time about a kid done good after being raised by their single mom. Do right by your kids and they will be just fine. So will you.

If you can put them first unselfishly...the world will help you..if you are selfish, you are on your own for the struggle of your life...trust in God and pray for help...others will assist you if you love your children.
They only need love and understanding because half their world is gone....do not try to bring a succession of men through those doors...they will hate you.
Please be unselfish...it will all fall into place...trust in God.
