I am also a single mom of two year old. His dad walked out when I told him I was expecting. Never be wanted to look after him. I felt sad but God stood with me and provided for me. I know the feelings , crying at night , stressed, tiredness. Only God can heal you.

you are not alone, it takes some time, but you can't forget about yourself in the process. I learned that the hard way. You have to take some you time.

i know how you feel. i'm exactly where you are. my son's dad has never been in the picture(unless you count the first 6 months of my sons life). it is extremely hard being a single mom.. i don't know about you but i'm constantly doubting my skills as a mommy and feel like a failure at times because my son does not have a dad in his life. but i know God is taking care of us. and i thank God that i have a supportive family and that my son has a good male rolemodel in my dad for him to look up to until God sends the right man into our lives. i will be praying for you and your little one. God bless both of you.

Being a single parent is very hard, im a single mom to a 7 month little boy and father hasnt been around.. i had toxemia really bad and could of died or my son and i did it alone and now i find out i might have cervical cancer and i just turned 22 years old, and the father wants nothing to do with my boy and we only live 3 blocks away and tomorrow ill be just a cross the street. like its so stressfull that some men can be so low and not stand up and be the man and take care of there kids, if they dont want kids they should rap it or maybe just get fixed!!!!!!

I am a single mother of a 9 year old girl. My ex-husband never really wanted to be a father (not even to his 3 kids from his firt marriage). He even went as far as to sign off his parental rights so he wouldn't have to pay child support. I feel all alone too but I do have my parents helping out at times but its still hard being alone...I know how you feel and share your pain too...

Oh i am so sorry hunny. Be strong and have faith. And even if you really dont want to take the help from your friends and family when they offer. With being a single mom it is expecialy importent that you go and take some time for yourself. Mommy needs some time alone to. Just remember everything happeneds for a reason. and it should all work out in the end. I have the upmost respect for you do be doing this on your own

Separated from my husband, parenting 14 yr old girl. Father isnt my husband but division of the 6 yr relationship is hard on both myself and my daughter. Husband is abusive to me both physically and psycologically and mostly verbally to my daughter-numerous problems with her behavior and social devopment due to GRANDMA wanting to keep her little as long as possible. It would be nice to have more help with her-not just $29 a week child support. A good therapist and a friend in same boat to talk to sometimes is good, and we are new to our area as well.

Hugs to you. I know i could not do it alone. They say it takes a village to raise a child you have the support of circle of moms because we are all there cheering you on in spirit! So again hugs! Life gets better one step at a time.

My son is 6 and I have been a single parent since he was 8 months old. I went through 2 years of college and now work 40 hrs a week, I have family that is there but I raise him alone. I dont go out or have much time to do anything without him. I love being a mom but would love to have help sometimes. I know what its like and props to you, it takes a very strong woman to be a mom, and an even stronger one to do it alone!

If it helps - I'm not a single mom, have a very supportive hubby - but I have said to myself time and time again, 'I don't know how single mothers do it.' So, I bow down to you - you have the toughest job and I think you're amazing.

Do you have a babysitter nearby (or family) that you can leave him with to give yourself a break sometimes?

I am a mother of 4 girls. And I am a single mother. I have no father that wants to be around for any of my girls. It is hard. And it can be stressful... but you got to take it one day at a time. Each day it gets a little easier. But I won't lie to you... you will have that tough day here and there were you want to pull out your hair. But.. take deep breaths and think about if it was you that was missing out on your child's life. And how lucky you are to have that child and raise it to be a better person then you are. And always smile at the good things....

I am sorry that you have to go through that, but be encouraged it will get easier. May I say at least make sure that you are getting child support and find some good friends/family for support ♥
