is there anyother single moms here at mylot that cry sometimes when they r lone?

Though not a single mom, I am a woman and from that point of view I think that yes, we do need a man in the house but don’t rush into anything just because you need it. Once hurt, twice shy holds good only as long as you give time to yourself and your son not only for the scars to heal, but to become a better judge of people. Nobody is perfect and if the first guy was the wrong one, it doesn’t mean that the second one will be the same. And again rules are meant to be broken depending on the situation and circumstances. So I would advise you not to be too rigid, but not to be too open either. Building up a great relation with you son should also top the list of priorities but don’t take it so long that he becomes totally dependent on you only and would grudge the entry of any man in your life. Another six months should be OK for the hibernation and then you should come out of your nest and start mingling, both for your own good and for your son’s. My best wishes to both of you.

The crying is good as it helps you clean the pain and anger/hurt from the body after going thru a major situation.The body will sometimes delay for months or years before it starts to deal with the emotional aspect .But please do not think it is just for single moms.Single dads go thru the same feelings and process.I do not know if it is true that time heals all wounds,but it does help us finally work thru the pain and be able to move on with our lives.As for NEEDING a man in your life??When you find that someone special you will know.But wanting and needing are two different things.As long as you separate any physical needs from emotional needs,you will do fine.The most important man in your life right now is your son.Merry Xmas.

I am sure it isn't just people who have children that feel this way. At least you have your son and a love between a parent and a child is a never ending love. But a lot of people feel alone during the holidays. I myself miss my family very much and sometimes wonder how different life would have been if I would have one of my own. But then, I have to count my blessings in all of the friends that I have and the joy that sometimes comes with freedom.

just come around here.drop the tear here!!
