I know how you feel, I was a single mom for 6 years.  I know that seems like a long time but I was also divorced at the ripe old age of 21.  It is terrible but I must say he gave you the best of him in those little babies so as much as I disliked my ex I always tried to remember that.  Once I stopped hating my ex I seems to feel better.  Why would I want to be with him?  I deserved so much better.  I deserved the world after raising my son as a single mom.  I won't lie, it was difficult and there were many tears and many bad dates.  I asked God so many time WHY ME?  Am I destined to be alone?  I met my husband and it was amazing.  There was never a question in my mind if he loved my son. He did love him as if he were is own.  My son still sees his dad.  The experience is very civil.  My husband  and I have since had three more kids and he loves my son as much as the babies.  It seems hopeless sometimes but remember that most families out there are blended and most of us have been through it.  You will too.  Stay strong, focus on those babies and the blessings will come to you!

I totally know how you feel. My ex was very disrespectful and abusive. It took me 3 years to finally kick him out. We had 2 children together which he never helped me with. I was just scared to be alone with 2 kids and worried that no one would want to be with me because I had children. Then just 5 months after my divorce I met my husband Jon. He is in the Air Force. When he met my kids he just jumped in and became a father. It never seemed to bother him. My ex signed over rights and Jon has adopted them. The kids only know him and only will as their father. I know right now you feel like you are going to be alone forever but that is not true. My mother and father divorced when I was 2yrs old and my mother met my step father a few months later and he is all I know as a dad. My mom had 3 kids when she met my dad who didn’t have any children. They are still together and still happy. It will happen you just need to stay strong and have hope. If not for yourself, then for your children. It’s a hard thing to go through but you just have to keep thinking it is for the best and everything will work out. Best of luck..I hope I made you feel a little better.

I can't imagine what you must be going through! You have every right to be bitter. Feeling that way is a form of dealing with your emotions. I have several friends who are single mothers and thru them see how hard it is. My girlfriends dealt with her relationships by reading self help books.....have you considered looking into that. I have read some too and they can be so helpful. Just thought I would share that. Once your done healing your emotions you will meet a fantastic guy!!!!!

Because divorce sucks!!!!! Keep a positive attitude and know that things can only get better from here. You may hit a ruff patch but it will pass, and believe me you will find a great guy that loves you and your kids.
