I am so nervous to be a single mommy of two little ones. My son is acting up lately because of the changes with his dad gone and my daughter was called for papa today. How do I deal with that and I am very scared of saying something I shouldn't to them. Does anyone have any advice to this. I am also so afraid of not finding someone who will like me. With the extra weight and scars I am scared nobody would like my body. If my ex husband didn't who would? I am not to over weight but he likes the skinny women...I am only 20 pounds over weight with the lose skin is that bad?

hi dear... i know and understand how you feel.... im also a single mom with a 7 year old growing boy.... yeah it's hard to explain to the little ones, in my case i choose to be single, my ex husband is kinda not a family man....... anyways i suggest you must focused 1st how you will raise the kids, disregards the feeling of who will like you.... the scars and extra weight is not a big deal most importantly is that you are a great mother and can be a good wife with a man who is searching for a great family... god bless!

FIRSTLY UR EX SOUNDS LIKE A TOOL, LIKES SKINNY WOMEN, WELL LADIES LIKE REAL MEN! NOT SUPERFICIAL IDIOTS. ID LIKE TO SEE WHAT CHANGES HIS BODY WOULD TAKE AFTER GROWING 2 BABIES! MY 1ST CHILDS 'DAD' A.K.A SPERM DONOR TAKES NO PART IN MY DAUGHTERS LIFE, GOOD RIDDENS TO BAD RUBISH. HOWEVER I NEVER EVER SAY ANYTHING BAD BOUT HIM TO HER. SHES 11 AND HAS ASKED QUSETIONS THAT I HAVE ANSWERED, I SAID WE WERE YOUNG AND HE WASNT READY TO BE A GOOD DAD, THAT ITS BETTER TO HAVE NO DAD THAN A DADDY WHO WOULD LET YOU DOWN, THAT HES NOT A BAD PERSON, JUST BAD TIMING, NOTHING TO DO WITH HER, SHE IS GOOD ENOUGH, HE AT THE TIME WASNT. SHE ACCEPTS THAT. I TELL HER I LOVE HER ENOUGH FOR 2! I ALSO MENTIONED THAT ALL FAMILIES ARE DIFFERENT, SOME JUST A MUM, JUST A DAD, LIVE WITH GRANDPARENTS, FOSTER FAMILIIES ETC. THAT SHES LUCKY AS SHE HAS A MUM, NANNY, GRANDA, AUNT AND UNCLE . . . I MET MY PARTNER WHEN SHE WAS 4, WE HAVE A 3YR OLD NOW. HE LOVES MY BODY AS ITS MINE, I LOVE HIS AS IT COMES WITH HIS PERSONALITY AND HEART. IF ALL A MAN WANTS IS A SKINNY BODY, HE WANTS A HOOKER NOT A PARTNER. MY BODY MADE 2 CHILDREN, IM NOT ASHAMMED OF IT. I EXERCISE FOR HEALTH REASONS, TO BE FIT TO KEEP UP WITH THE KIDS, NOT TO KEEP MY MAN. YOU SOUND LIKE A LOVELY PERSON WHO GOT BEAT DOWN BY A MAN, WEVE ALL BEEN THERE. STAY STRONG, SHOW YOUR KIDS TO KNOW THERE WORTH X

I'm a single mother of a almost ten year old girl. All I can say is, if your kids ask about their dad say that he loves them and is away right now. Don't say anything neg, even if thats all there is, they might resent you later for dissing their father. I would like to find someone too, but that hasn't happened for me yet, just keep faith in your heart and know that there is someone out there for you. Not all guys care alot about body types. you want a guy who will love you for more than your body anyway!!
