As a fellow single mom, I believe that we all have a chance to get settled down and have our own happily ever afters. Actually, it's easy to get married. What's difficult is qualifying a partner to be a second father to our children. With issues on rape, child abuse, pedophilia, incest, etc. abound, we tend to have this nagging fear whenever we meet a potential partner that we might choose, or worse, end up with the wrong one. Call me paranoid, but I'm foremost concerned with my child's well being (aren't we all are?). It won't hurt if it takes a while to get to know a person really well before plunging into anything serious. Then, maybe, after that we can live happily ever after:)

those are the cases actually giving me phobia base on my experiences...that's why maybe like it's hard to put back the trust again..it looks like they are all the same you know...i guess because of what happened to me that's why i'm feeling like this...and you're right, we really have to really know the person in and out before getting into a serious relationship...thanks for your comments steney dear., by the way, how many kids do you have? hope to hear from you again...take care always and God bless.

hello again steney:) actually i'm just so lucky and so blessed really..when my kids was just small i have a maid with me that time whos helping me taking care with my kids..now that they are grown-up already never had much problem, not that perfect but everything was just in a right place, i guess because since i went back to know God and ask His guidance really helps me a lot to go through all this circumstances that comes our way...and being single mom thats what we really need in our life..we need God to help us in all ways, that's why my faith is getting stronger and help me also to be more closer to Him and my kids as well...thank God..let's all pray for the best of our kids and just have faith in ourself and in Him..hear from you again steney and take care and so your kids..mwahhh and God bless:)

Hello again! I only have one child and yet I'm this paranoid :) I can't imagine how it must be for you when you have 5 to worry about. Anyways, as they say, you will know when the right person comes along. And I'm positive that there's a certain special someone destined for each one of us. God is good and just. I admire you for your strength in taking care of your children. Keep it up and keep the faith. God bless you too!

mothers - being a single mom with children
I was a single mom of two children, and yes it is possible to settle down again. I have three children now... and i enjoy being a stay-at-home-mom. But it is possible.

I am a single mom of three wonderful children (I can't imagine having 5!! Kudos to you hun for doing it on your own!). I have a boyfriend now and he has a son who comes to stay here on the weekends, so never give up hope that you can settle down again. There is someone out there just waiting for you and for the right time. All the best to you my friend, I hope you find that someone special very soon.
