Hi Pacificstar! Damn... you hit one nail MAJORLY on the head for me, too. Being a single parent isn't easy, but look:



THAT is my whole world. My life. THAT is why I do everything I do. How I parented was never good enough for the ladies of my old church, because it wasn't how they did it. So I beat myself up for YEARS. Then I took a step back and realized that most of that was complete BS, and I was a GOOD mommy.

Then I took a look at the things I DID need to change, and asked their father to take them for a year. It's been so hard, and it's only been a little over a month, but I'm building a better mommy for them. Not from anyone else's opinion, but from mine... and theirs. And that's all that matters. you have a lovely family GOD has truly blessed you no matter what the old church goers say and he knows you are a good mommy flowerforyou

You already know how I feel about my tummy, and probably commitment..

Fear of commitment. I am not against it.. it just scares the hell out of me, and Ive been screwed so many times, I am insecure about making that decision, because I know if I have a wall up, I wont be hurt.


Bad.. Im working on this.. every step in a relationship, I hold my breath a little. *gulp*

After my experience with the system I wasn't about to trust anyone and unfortuneately depending on their birthfather was never and option. Thankfully I never really had any serious problems with credible outsiders saying I was a bad parent; not even their birthfather or the hords of Professionals involved with my special needs child.

But having a family, young with minimal education, and with no back up does not give you a lot of options. I know at times it was tough on my kids. Missing out on the whole grandma grandpa thing. My Dad did not come back on line until my kids were well away from home.

My insecurities were created and forced down my throat for years by my ex. 2 yrs away from him and I was doing really good to build myself up and find that most of things he said were just untrue.

I had a meeting with him last week and wasn't feeling well at the time. My guard was down and he pointed out things that were "wrong" with me and I was starting to doubt myself again. I really don't like the person I had become when I was with him. The anger, bitterness, resentment and lack of trust was so overwhelming that that alone in itself was a source of insecurity.

That very same night I was able to go out and meet two of the Wichita Minglers. We talked, laughed, danced and had a great time and I left thinking . . . you know I have come a long way, Baby and am looking forward to where I am headed . . . at this point destination unknown. But, I know the outcome is gonna be great.

Insecurities...I think we all have them. I am working on a few. Some are buried deep, some I am overcoming with each new day. But, I truly believe for me and whoever I am lucky enough to find - our insecurities won't matter because we will compliment each other and learn what we can become as one. Together we can conquer all. Living on hope and a dream here.

(Not sure if this should be here or in General, but I'm sure the mods know...)

So, I was sitting here thinking about how we all have different insecurities, and wondering if anyone else would be brave enough to post theirs here. It may be great therapy for us all, to see that we're not alone. :smile:

So I'll start: My major two insecurities are not knowing things (especially being in a situation where I'm the only one who doesn't know everyone / don't share the same history, etc), and my stomach. Some women are jealous of others' legs, others are jealous of boobs. Me? It's flat tummies. I always wondered what that was like to have one...

Now you!


I'm secure. The world around me is going insecure.

My right side is not good. One tooth is shorter, eyebrow is a little lower, cowlick in my hair. People say they don't notice but maybe they're standing on my left side.

Cant see how this is important.

You are standing inside... Which is where you are... Reckon you'r essence is much more than those things you listed.
