He struggles ed with addiction and it wasn't something that I could not be around or put her around. Needless to say, I was a single parent who was trying to figure out the whole motherhood thing alone.
To make matters worse, my daughter struggled with severe reflux and allergies that caused her to choke on her throw up at night and struggle to breathe. I was alone, tired, and hurt. I would watch romantic movies and cry that I would never find love like that. Fast forward two years when I met my now husband.
The moment I met him I told him I had a 2 year old and said that if that wasn't something he was ok with to just keep it moving. Well, 8 years later and he is still here.
He is the father to my oldest and we are expecting our third child second together. I am happier than I have ever been and I wouldn't change my experience for anything. When I asked him why he didn't walk away he told me that my honesty about having a daughter was something he totally respected. He also loved that I made it clear she was my first priority because as a parent that should be the norm.
I guess he just appreciated me being upfront. Hang in there, you will get through this and the right person for you will come along when the time is right.
It may not happen right away, but when you find someone who accepts you and your child it will be worth the wait! I went through pregnancy all by myself as the biological father was a total loser. I reconnected with the man who is now my hubby when my daughter was two. We've now been married for 7 years and are expecting our first baby together! Keep your head up, Momma! I got pregnant right after a break up, and it was with A very very manipulative and crazy person. He went to prison when I was about 3 mo pregnant but I was doing it all alone anyways because I wanted to.
He would call and harass and made my pregnancy hell. At that point I basically accepted I would have to deal with his crazy the rest of my life and that I wouldn't find a partner that would want to be with me being a single mom and having her insane bio dads baggage also. BUT I decided to give online dating a try when my daughter was 3 months old and I met my now husband. He is absolutely perfect and loved my daughter right from the start. Now we're married and expecting a baby in October and my daughter knows him as daddy.
We bought a home. To be a stay at home mom which was my dream. Everything is so perfect now but I could've never imagined it would be this way!
I was single during my first pregnancy. I met my now husband when my daughter was a little over a year old.
She splits her time between writing for The Date Mix and working on the Zoosk product, which gives her behind-the-scenes knowledge about the world of online dating. I got an invite to a happy hour and it said, basically, there will be a user named 'happydude' there who you seem compatible with. He is absolutely perfect and loved my daughter right from the start.

He has been by our side ever since. We got married last November and are working on him officially adopting our three year old. He is the best dad in the world and treats me perfect. I was discouraged at first but you will definitely find someone who loves you and your baby.
I didn't personally but my best friend did. She and the father had already broken up when she found out she was pregnant and he asked her to get an abortion, something she would never ever do. She was really distraught, her mom had passed away a few years earlier and her dad and little sister had moved to Georgia for his work. She basically made it work with a lot of tears, when she was maybe 8 or 9 months pregnant she met her current husband seriously!
His friends were very adamant about him not getting involved with her being that she was actively pregnant with another guys baby , so they just stayed friends until after the baby was born and things settled down a bit. I think he knew all along he was going to marry her honestly.

Little did I know that there was a man thinking the exact same thing as I was who had two little girls. Some of the single moms on Zoosk liked meeting other single parents who they could relate to. Alex and his two daughters, me and my son and daughter, on his ten acre plot of land in the country. I could never have imagined a more perfect life.

It was, indeed, depressing — even if my married friends insisted I was lucky and it was a luxury to be able to sleep alone at night. It was time to go on the offensive.
The woman on the other side of the counter began to laugh. I looked up and she laughed even harder. I tried a party. I bravely stood outside in a blizzard, endured a blowing wind and smoke from a bonfire. After one hour, in the initial stages of hypothermia, I left. I highlighted my hair. I strapped on ankle weights and did leg lifts.
Surely rock-hard cellulite would counter the fact that I was a hormonally challenged, forty-eight-year-old woman. The next date lasted just twenty minutes.
