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.

Terrible Twos and the Single Mama

Terrible Twos is the understatement of the century when describing my son’s behavior lately. He’s an absolutely NIGHTMARE. An embarrassment. It’s almost humorous how strangers go from being like “Wow what a cute little boy” to giving me looks of pity and disbelief. I swear I cannot take him anywhere! He makes me look like [...]

Evil.

I never posted this here but about a week ago I got a letter from the state saying that my son’s Newborn Screening Test came back that he most likely is carrying Sickle Cell Trait and they asked that me and his father come in and be tested asap as the are certain one of [...]

Putting My Truth and Honesty Out There

I think by having an online blog causes bloggers to lack authenticity, no matter what they may say. To an extent most bloggers blog to attract readers, to keep them interested, to not offend, to hide from those they know in real life.

I Hate This Part

It never fails. He’s in and out of my life, making me promises .. promises I hardly believe, yet I always have hope. Somehow my mind seems to always erase the bad and try to dig for the good. Somehow I continue to love him in a morbidly masochistic kind of way. I’m not in [...]

And Now He’s Gone ..

When I made THIS POST I thought more than anything in the world that’s what I wanted. For my son to know who his father was. But why when I got him and his cooperation I didn’t have not one good feeling about it and instead was terribly apprehensive and constantly on the verge of [...]

Why Doesn’t He Care?

I’m feeling so frustrated with Daddy right now. My temper is fuming and I type this as anger-tears flood out of my eyes down onto my laptop keyboard. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a permanent thought that’s killing me right now. It’s starting to hurt me all over again that he doesn’t care [...]

Cussed Daddy Out

With my pregnancy half over I’d been fighting back and forth with the decision of whether or not to tell Daddy anything about his baby as sort of an FYI just so he can never say that even though he’s made no moves to include himself in our lives, that I never did anything to [...]

Confirmed

I had to get medically confirmed yesterday that I am indeed knocked up. Heh. They said I’m about 6 weeks and my baby should be due July 14. When I got home Daddy signed online but didn’t message me. I decided to take the plunge. I messaged him first and simply said “Hey Daddy. Just [...]
