Newly Single- single mom

I don't feel the same, my sons dads are in the picture so I am NOT in the, same boat but I AM a serious relationship hopper, which it sounds like you are too. It may be in your best interest to be single, alone and lonely for awhile (seriously) the first month is hell, the second month you'll go on some dates and the third month you'll be HAPPY AND INDEPENDENT. That feels so good that the one month of misery and the month of oddness are totally worth it to endure. Good luck!

Hi Reena...

Sorry you're feeling sad (although its been 2 months since you posted this), lonely and scared. I just joined this group today. Not a lot of activity here. But, its worth a try. My girl doesn't remember her dad (hasn't seen him since she was 10 months old). I've had only one relationship since Savannah's dad... Its been on and off and very trying. That's made it hard on my girl. I have a lot of guilt about getting back with this man, since it seems my state of well being declines as a result of my own inability to deal with the relationship. So, I understand the worry, all too much. I worry that I don't have what it takes to give this beautiful child of mine the emotional stability she so deserves. Plus, we just moved to a brand new area, far away from friends and family. Beautiful area, but isolated. Even if I was at the absolute peek of emotional strength, without a father or father figure on board, its still very challenging to give her all that is needed to create a total sense of security and self-confidence. You need supportive women around you. That's what has pulled me through every time. Keep reaching out and feel free to contact me here. All the best to you, Sistah!

Hugs,

Rachel
