Single Mothers? So with being married, having a baby and thinking "what if my marriage doesn't work out?" "what if we divorce?" I come to the question of "what if I'm a single mother, who would want me?"
It's kind of a scary thought to me to be alone forever. I mean, I have my daughter so I would never be alone but love wise with a significant other. How many people who would be willing to get into a relationship with a single mother? How many people would want to have to deal with another dad and help raise a child that's not theirs?
I know for me I didn't really want to get involved with a guy/girl that had a child. I didn't vote it out completely but I always thought it would be a lot easier to not get involved with a single parent.
I know it happens all the time but for some reason thinking about myself being in that position makes me think I'd be alone forever. There are so many sick people out there and you never know who could hurt your child, I'm sure that would hold me back from letting myself be loved again.
So I guess I'm just looking for your thoughts/experiences on being a single parent and out in the dating scene again for myself or for others in that situation. Thanks.
