The answer is simple....an unplanned pregnancy!
Seven years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl. I thought she would most likely be my only child due to the fact that three months into my pregnancy I found out her father was married with a family of his own. No pity party needed here....I learned my lesson (and how to conduct Internet background checks). Plus, her paternal grandparents are amazing.
Eight months ago, I met an interesting man who refused to let me be alone. My mantra for the past few years had been, "It's safer to be alone. It's easier to be alone." I was content with friendship, but he wanted more. I let him into my life slowly at first and faster in the end.
You see it was interesting. I had never had anyone in my life to help me before him. He cooked for my daughter and I and when I got sick in October he took over completely. This was very new to me. I have been alone since the beginning of my single parenthood. So alone, that I can't conceive on having any sort of help even now. How do I go from being single mother to a parenting duo? I've become so self reliant that I'm unsure how to be anything else. It's going to be something new and possibly challenging and I hope to share it with other single moms. :)
