Hello and welcome to the site.

I have five come talk to me I will be there for you!!!

Give yourself credit and know you had done anything or I will do just anything for him that is a big value that he later own in his own life he will say I have a great mother as father. I had learned a lot on my own in raising my daughter too. I know you had done wonderful for but I always remember you too. And remind yourself over and over you done a great job in allowing him to learn about values and love life because of you.."Great Wishes" from an other single mother as a father too.

I myself have depression and have two children with ADHD. It's not easy but my kids keep me going. They make me laugh, show me how they learned something new, and keep on making me proud and lucky to be their mother. You've got to remember to focus on the good stuff. Let your children be your guide, for they can show you a world of love and wonder.

Start taking walks outside...even if you dont want to. The first few days its a chore but youll enjoy bidding your neighbors hello

I have been diagnosed with ptsd b/c I have a past with some abuse & I am a young mother with two children. I am currently going through a divorce as well which makes things even harder. All I can say is to keep your head up & know that your doing the best you can! Each day live for your kids that's what helps me to get through.

Keep positive, look into your babies face and remember it's all worth it.
Trust me when I say, in what seems to be the blink of an eye they will be all grown up....

this is a great place if you do not need the face to face interaction. if you do need that you may want to look for groups in your area. if you need help let me know.

Hello,I understand. I suffer from depression, I am 6 months pregnant with twins and their father left me last week. I am having alot of trouble dealing with being alone, I do not really have very many friends to call on. Message me if you want.

First of all, Welcome! I first got married at 16, had my first at 18 and my second 11 months later. It seems impossible at first but as others have said, it's so worth it. If there is ANYTHING you want to talk about, you can safely share it on the forums. You will find acceptance, friendship and encouragement on here. If it's more private, there are so many of us who would lend an ear to hear and a shoulder to cry on. Bless you.

this thread is 2 years old

I use to be depressed about being a mom until I seen how my kids father treated them when I let them see them. Their dads always neglected them for the streets,entertainment, women & their homies. After years of treatment (7 yrs), I realized that I was being selfish by not tending to my kids needs & well being. They needed somebody who cared about them wholeheartedly. When you are all a child has you are more to them than life itself. They will love you for your sacrifices always & respect you fully as they become adults. When the other parent misses out they miss out. Kids are so forgiving that when you mess up the never bring it back up they love you anyway. Be encouraged single parents, in due time it will pay off. I learned a little too late but still have time to make up 4 lost time while I'm still above ground & so can you.

Hello iam single mother of 2 my self i stay depress have noone

Welcome to mingle. Jump into the forems and make some friends their are alot of single moms here to help. alot of friends here to help. I raised 3 by myself feel free to message me anytime.

Just walking to the mailbox is a good thing. I can remember in the worse part of the grief depression when I was agoraphobic and claustrophobic at the same time. My dog has been real good for my therapy. The meetings keep me from isolating so bad. The experience actually has helped me in the nursing home when I am making my rounds because I know that the shut ins do appreciate me even when they are calling every name but a white boy. It still lets them express their feelings. The human touch and contact just can't be replaced by robotics I don't care advanced it is in my opinion. I have learn not just startle people when they are in deep sleep but gradually try to awake them because in my opinion it must be like coming out of a coma. When they are talking to themselves I am careful about not interrupting their conversations with themselves.
