Single Mom Blessing #5

Posted by singlemom

August 27, 2009 |

Raising my daughters alone. No doubt about it. Considering my choices in “men” when I was young, it is likely a good thing that I raised them alone. I shutter to think about how they may have grown up otherwise. I pretend they would have been fine, but recent events seem to indicate otherwise.

I loved Zowie’s father, and miss him dearly since his passing when she was a baby, but he had a lot of problems that he could not get over.

Skye’s father, whom I haven’t seen since she was young, seems to have his own issues with either reality/honesty. Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful that he has finally started to take part in his daughters life. I am happy for her, and hope that she can be happy knowing him. It is a slow process, but I wish them and their relationship the best.

How about sharing a blessing with us.

Shannon

    I know what you mean — raising my son without his dad has been the best thing for him. He is a good guy, but has different priorities than I do. My son’s future stepfather is amazing though!

    It is true that some parents just don’t have the same priorities. I am noticing this with my best friend and her soon-to-be-ex.
