Introduction

Hello,

I’m a 43 year old single mom of a 5 year old son. My life changed dramatically when I found out at the age of 38 that I was having my first child. I would like to welcome each and everyone of you for coming to my page. This is a safe space where we can discuss anything. Since I have gotten through my introduction I will post something everyday to discuss different topics and things that happen in my life. Who knows I might be able to help someone.

Today, I want to talk about what it’s like to be a single mom. See my son’s father hasn’t seen him since he requested a DNA test at 6 months and honestly it doesn’t bother me. I made sure that when I did get pregnant I was in a space to mentally deal with being a single parent. I must say, my son isn’t lacking anything. He is 5 and very smart. He doesn’t inquire about his dad as of yet but if and when he does I will explain to him the best way that I can that his dad was never around to begin with. Now for everyone that’s wondering, no I don’t keep him away from his son and I even told him that he is more than welcome to come visit him but he chose to stay away. I am in no way a bitter baby momma and I don’t even bad talk him to anyone. I just feel like my child wasn’t a priority to him and yes, he do have other children. My son and I have been getting by pretty well without his help. However, he was ordered to pay child support when he received the DNA results and that was in the amount of 50.00 monthly and that’s because he lied and told the courts that he was homeless, no job, living in the shelter, etc. I didn’t argue because I knew we were going to be okay.

Now here we are 5 years later and I have an awesome boy, who is sweet and very intelligent. I try to put him in environments where he can learn how to be a man and also where he can learn how to deal with the different things that life might throw at him.

As for me, I feel like I’m new to this planet sometimes. I feel like I’m in da twilight zone. I wake up in the morning and I feel like I’m well over 50, I have to recite positive affirmations to myself just to get started. I have to pay attention when I’m walking because my son’s toys are all over the place and to top it off now I have to cook breakfast to make sure he eats….lol. That’s all in the morning. By the time the afternoon gets here, I’m really lost, I don’t know if it’s lunch time or nap time…lol.

This whole life thing at an older age with a 5yr old is something different. If you would have told me maybe 10 years ago that I would have a little one at the age of 40 I would have looked at you and said “yeah you lying “. I must admit though, it’s something new with this one every day and I will definitely begin sharing with you all.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and read my story, believe me it’s so much more to come. I have stories ranging from dating to surgery.
