I have just become a single mum

[Karstens Mum]

Hi everyone.

I have just become a single mum as of Monday just gone.
I have moved in with my parents until I can sort myself out with a house and furniture. I am worried about being a single mum but I know in my heart it is the right thing to have done.

Hi I am Cheryl with a little girl Chanel I have being living on my own for 5 months now after walking out on my ex. I live on my own which is hard at times, so thank god for this website.
I am always posting stuff and venting. I have to say thanks to all the woman I met through this website as it is a rollercoaster ride of emotions - one minute I hate him, next minute think of giving him a second chance and then next moment passed that emotion to sadness then to happiness.
Just know any time log in and someone will listen.
May you find comfort you are not alone.

Hi ladies :wave:

I've been a single mother ever since I fell pregnant with my 6 month old son (he was born premature 4 weeks early). His father has never acknowledged my son's existence and I really don't see the point in trying to change his mind (our relationship is complicated - he's living with the mother of his other child :thumbsdown: )

I am staying with my parents at the moment until I get part-time work and find decent childcare - we're moving to Sydney soon and I see that as a fresh start, a chance to make a new life for me and my son. I've heard that rentals are rather expensive in NSW so it may be awhile before I get back out on my own.. :fingerscrossed:

I think us single parents are incredibly strong and brave - we have to deal with alot that coupled parents don't - dealing with the CSA, making ends meet as best we can, devoting our entire being to raising our children.

Having said that, I still hold out hope for me finding my Mr. Right someday :laughing: I hope he's in Sydney!

hi there carstens mum, i believe if you have followed your heart and done what you believe is the right thing for your baby then that is all that matters.
i feel even though i am in a relationship (rocky at that) i am on my own... he is never home and when he is, he is mostly sleeping ... i have to argue with him just so he spends time with our young one...
just follow your heart hun... things can only get better...
just think you may even get a little bit of time to yourself having your parents right there helping out... chin up...:kiss:

Good on you Karstens Mum!:wave:
I posted on your 'intentions to leave' thread and great that you did, hope you have some of the relief of knowing you've done the right thing, by you!

Hope your parents are spoiling you, too :)

I'm also single and 5months preg..and in Perth too, if you need a friend.

Bub2bes father and I had chosen to try to have a baby..but hadn't really planned anything else, after months of almost moving in together I found his inconsistency and anger too stressful to leave my happy independence for joining his up+down life. Selfish, but looking after bub2b and I!

Am sure you'll have major regrets and sadness, just acknowledge these and start that exciting process of welcoming your bub into the world!! :yelclap:

When it comes to sharing your life with someone and parenting, what's right for you will be right for your child too!

Hey Karstens' Mum, A bloody good pat on the back for you my friend.

Looking out for the welfare of your child is your primary concern and I sincerely congratulate you for taking this difficult step to ensure the best for your bub.

There are heaps of single mums in Perth who would be more than happy to show you that single parenting is as rewarding as it is daunting. Any time you want to PM me feel free.

Take care and well done :hugs:

Hiya :wave: Karstens mum,

For all mums putting their kids first comes nauturally and if that entails becoming a single mum then that's the way it needs to be. You've chosen this option because you know it's the best for your child and yourself.

I've been a single mum from day dot, it's been very very hard, not only being a single mum but I have only 1 family member in WA and since becoming a single mum I had to leave the town I had been in for 11yrs because I couldn't afford it so I have been in Perth for 1 1/2 yrs with no 'friends' or family but because my son is the light of my life and what his needs need I did and do what I have to. You too will find that, you'll know what needs to be done and if that's staying with family for a while then stay with family.

I will c u on Thursday for the NOR meet. We can chat there more if you would like.
Chin up think of your beautiful boy and know in your heart that what you have done is for the best. :hugs: to you for such a big move in your lives.
