You have your head on straight and thats whats most Important I was a single mom too and I always had my Daughter with me we even did dinners on Friday night...she was my Date... Love your LO'S..
This is really amazing and honest and I think it is lovely! It is so hard to be this honest and I hope you don't think ANY of us would fault you for it! Fantastic job on the LO and the journaling!
Very powerful layout. I think you will triumph in the end, because you are determined to give your son a good life. As far as the ex - he may have fathered the child, but he's no dad, that's for sure. Hang in there, for your sake and for your son's.
wow, very touching! I really hope this helped you deal with the negative feelings from the whole situation! Very brave! I hope everything works out for you and your son, his father has NO idea what he is missing out on!
a hard layout for you I am sure. I hope it has helped ease your pain about your situation. I hope you can work through your anger by journalling and writing your feelings like this - I have always found my scrapbooking to be good therapy. At least Nathan has you.
Awesome lo. Love the honest journaling. My mom became a single mom when her husband (my dad) decided to walk away from his 3 children and his wife for another woman. I'm sorry you're going through this but you are obviously strong!
Therapy Layout-From one single mom to another. It is good that you got this off of your chest. Now that you have taken the responsibility of raising your son it will be a challenge but you can raise him with out the negative influence of his dad. Enjoy your son and always focus on the good things in your life. God Bless You!!
Well this is just awesome, i love that you got those feelings out and I agree with you! CHILDREN are a priority, kudos to you for working so hard to raise your son right!
I agree with you, a hero is someone that goes above and beyond, not someone who walks away!! So frustrating!! Good for you getting this out!!! Well said!!
therapy journaling--more people should try it. Maybe you should send a copy of this to his commander, they don't tolerate this sort of thing very well. Good luck to you during your journey I know it is hard--keep your head up God is with you always. xxxx
Well good for you for doing this lo! I hope it has been theraputic. However, do you really wish that he has another child? I wouldn't wish a father like that on anyone... Again, good for you for doing this and for being such a good mom!
I feel ya sister! Sounds like he has an awesome mom though....and one day when your son is much older he's going to tell you how grateful is he to have been raised by such a devoted mother. Oh, and I love the honesty of the LO.
This is for the "Tell it like it is challenge(journaling heavy)"
It reads: If you told me that I would be a single mom, I wouldn't have believed you IF you told me that my son's father wouldn't be in his life, I wouldn't have believed you BUT that is what happened. Now I am a single mom, and my son's father is not in my sons life His family is for my son, but he doesn't call. He has an excuse that he can't call because he's in AFGHANASTAN. Just because your in the military, and your there, doesn't mean you cannot write to your son. You write to your wife all the time, but you cannot write to your son because your busy?! I am done with the bull that he's pulled. Then everyone says that "HE'S A HERO BECAUSE HE IS SAVING OUR COUNTRY" Well wait a minute....IS HE REALLY A HERO? He hasn't called his son since christmas day, and its march. He doesn't write him cards, letters nothing, and HIS WIFE is the one sending us money, not him. He truly doesn't give a damn about his child.
The only reason why he doesn't give over his rights is because of his family and his wife. he never played with nathan and when he did, it was only for 10 minutes and then he had to leave for kickboxing. That was his priority and responsiblity, not his son. And he also said its okay for him to cheat since his father did it and Nathan can do it himself if he wants! Well, thank god he isn't raising my son. I am the mommy and the daddy when it comes to raising nathan. I am the one doing everything I am mommy in the mornings and daddy at night.
He can have a life, but I can't. Do you know how hard it is to find a babysitter? And when the babysitter cancels on us, I have to cancle my plans. Its hard raising a toddler all on your own and sometimes its not fair. It takes 2 to tango, And I did not get on top of myself and get myself pregant. It takes 2 to tango, and I am doing his part.
I wish and pray that someday he and his new wife would have a daughter or son, and leave me and my son be!!!!!!
