Raw and Honest Blog of a New Single Mom

I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

How to Heal with Dignity (Break Up Rules)

(I wish this was available to me when I was going through shit with Thumper and Daddy too. I hope this will help someone else because it will help me in the future!) The best way to heal with dignity (for both people after a breakup) is with NO CONTACT. Raise your hand and repeat [...]

Sex

I’ve made the vow to myself to give up Fuck Buddy relationships and to take sex and who I do it with more seriously. I’ve only had one true FB, but I’ve had enough relationships that involved sex and didn’t end up being serious to feel like I’ve been merely a cock socket more than [...]

The Appeal of Dating Single Mothers

When I first learned I was to become a single mother I was very worried about how others might view me, especially potential partners when it came time for me to date.

I’m Trying to be Nonchalant About It

So I talked to him. I don’t even want to say his name. He apologized for disappearing out of my life for the past 2 months and went on to attempt a deep conversation with me. “I want to change my life”, he said. “I realize that I’ve done a lot to fuck things up, [...]

Enlightenment

I have been avoiding people lately. Namely my friend, S, that guy I wrote about the other day, Thumper and a handful of other people. I feel like it’s mandatory not only for myself and my sanity, but for my little boy as well. I guess I feel like with time there comes a place [...]

I Give Up

Ironically after I made my last post Thumper got in contact with me through AIM and we chat a couple of times. We talked things through and seemed to reach a good level of understanding which was great. He told me he missed me and couldn’t wait to see me again and I felt the [...]
