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.

20 Years

So it happened and I guess this is the end of our saga. I found out earlier this week that Daddy plead guilty to 5 charges of rape (and the person he raped is worse than I originally though .. and much, much younger.) + 1 charge of drug possession. He will spend 20 years [...]

Bye Jack, Hello Sid Vicious

Who is this big boy? The big boy who almost badly hurt my precious little Jack 3 times in 2 hours. First Jack fell off the bed, then Jack fell out of the chair both times when I turned my back for one second to get a bottle, then Jack nearly went under the water [...]

How the F* Did This Happen?!

My son has been sleeping perfectly on his Boppy Lounger since he first came home from the hospital. He seems more comfortable on the pillow than a flat surface so he sleeps more content. I know he’s getting big now, nearly too big for the lounger, but for now it’s still a fit and we’ve [...]

My First Week Being a Mother: Things I’ve Learned!

My first week as a mom. This is such a huge change and it’s kinda like a whirlwind that I’ve been blindly tossed into over night. Some things about motherhood have so far been expected, but I kind of have had to realize how severe they are, especially being a single mother. While so far [...]

Push, Bridgette! Push!

Fuck it. Fuck him. I really can’t do it anymore. I’ve spent 5 months with him on my mind. 5 months worrying about him more than I have any other guy before. 5 months stressing, dreaming, giving him so much of my energy .. and he’s not even thinking of me. He doesn’t love me [...]
