I left my baby daddy a week before I found out I was pregnant with my son and struggled with being a first time parent and a single parent at that. My son is 3 months old now and I couldn’t be happier. I don’t know any single moms at all and while I’m happy for everybody else in my life having babies (and trust me there are lots of them) and starting or expanding their familesI can’t help but be sad. I never in my life thought I would be a single parent and it hurts so bad to see pictures of everybody else’s families (again I’m super happy for them) and I just really want that. I guess I just want to know that I’m not the only person that feels like this. I just feel lonely not only for being a single mom but nobody I know even knows what it feels like so it’s not completely therapeutic to talk about it with them.
