A friend asked me if I was a Single Parent. And I never really thought about it until now. I am. I have been since the children father and I divorce 12 years ago. I was stupid to think that my second husband would be a good father figure for my children. But all he ever did was show my son how to beat women. I knew after the fact that this man beat his wife, I'm wife number four. He is claim to have broken his step son arm by just grabbing him, don't know if its true, but I'm friends with his 3 ex wife the mother of the child. The second wife, who had they son died in a gun fight. Don't know the whole story, but I raise his son until I move away from him 11 years ago. Can't get a Divorce because he's not in this state. Alabama law. I told them I haven seen him in 11 years but they don't care, they want to send paper to a man I don't know where he at, and cost more that a down payment on a car. What about pro bono you may asks? this state has law, you have to prove what you have said. It so much red red tape.
Anyway, I never thought I would be a single parent, never wanted to be, I have always dreamed of a family. I had one, it wasn't a very good one, but it was my family. I had my sisters and brother around. I guess I'm not very good yet at this Single parent job.
Before I end, I want everyone to know I have a wonderful daugher. I love all my children, but I have a special bond with my oldest. One, She was born my 21 year day, two, she would do anything to keep me happy. Let me explain, Spring break is coming up, she had made plans to go to B'ham with friends, but because of the siuation, she doesn't want to go. I asked her why, it it becasue of me, she said no, I knew that was a lie, so I asked if it was about money and she said no, which also was a lie. I don't want my baby sending her 1st spring break with the Senior, your only a Senior once. I'm going to have to do what I do to make her dreams come true. she has been paying for the room with her paycheck, which is not right, she borrowing money from friends she went to school with, God I'm so happy I know these friends and their family, or that shit would end. I don't need another grown ass man hittig on my girls, this time I really will click. I'm trying to be a different person. I can be a bitch at time, but I do know my place in other time. I'm a Single mom now, and I want my children to be proud of me, like I'm proud of them, but not the behavior.
In closing, Last night with my son was amazing. I'm so proud of him. Last night he has to give up his Ball crown to another, he was upset, but he came to me like a man, and was proud of his friend. And the Senior walk, Oh My Gosh, it was breathtaking. we walked inbetween drawn swores, the Senior was yelling his name, it was great, than the Senior dance, we dance for the first time, I wanted to cry, but since it was a long song, I advice him that it would be best that he dance with his girl. The night was magic to me, my first night out as a Single MoM/Woman. It was fun. Gotta Run
