Sometimes life is a curve ball. I fell in love with a troubled man three years ago. There were so many red flags but love is truly blind. Every night he was out late drinking and didn't come home when he said he would. Coming home drunk in conditions no man should be in let alone around the woman who is pregnant with his child. Screaming at me because he is mad I'm upset he keeps putting me through it. Every time you yelled at me to get out of your house and to be a single mother with our child in my belly.

The amount of times I've heard I'm sorry and I promise it will not happen again. The times I called your family crying for help. Than your turn a corner. You get sober go to meetings. I have hope.

Than my life was turned around on January 4th with the most beautiful gift life could ever bring me. My son is born. He is my life. He is my air. He is my everything. I would give up everything I am and have for him.

Than two months later our life changed again. You kick us out of the house and put it up for sale. You start drinking again. It's my fault you say we argued and I nagged you? One minute we're a family and in a blink it's over. How is this possible? I move in with my family.

I am strong, I am resilient, and above everything else I am a mother. I pick up the pieces and move forward.

I am still the luckiest woman alive. You didn't change that. I am blessed. I get to raise a beautiful little man. I get to see his smile everyday. He is surrounded by love everyday.

You have not broken me. My baby and I will have a great life. One day I will have to explain what happened to us to him- but we are so lucky you are only around a few hours a week for visits. I will never bad mouth you to him he will unfortunately figure it out for himself when he is older.

To all the single momma out there. You got this. It's ok to walk away take care of your baby and yourself. No matter what you children come first.
