[Mally01]

Name : Malaika (parents lived overseas in the 70's and it's swhalei for 'my angel')
Age: 38
Background: Never married. Was with someone for 10 years prior to being with FOB. Never really wanted to settle down or have kids as was getting my teaching qualifications and being a bit too career minded. Got great supportive parents and sibling and network of friends which has been a life saver last three weeks. Was with FOB for two years, both happy, things were great until I told him I was pregnant (suffered from endometriosis for years so this was a bit unexpected for us both), he told me he had a daughter who died age 5, said he couldn't cope with another child and treated me so badly, I had to finish with him. This was 3 weeks ago.We text occasionally and he says he is suicidal at the moment but he won't let me help him or get involved. Despite all this drama, I am really happy about the baby and that is what gets me through most days. I am really looking forward to being a Mummy and the future with my LO.

Laura I LOVE baking cakes too, especially random flavoured cupcakes! Last batch I made was mandarin orange and bitter chocolate..yummy!

Name: Mary
Age: 28
Background: Single mommy to two rambunctious completely out-of-control toddlers. The sperm donor (can't really think the the SOB as anything more than that) has been out of the picture since before the youngest was born. I'm an accountant, currently studying for the CPA exam (1 section down and 3 to go), very much career-minded, will be pursuing my master's in taxation sooner rather than later. I am not domestic at all. Absolutely zero skill at managing a household. Just started dating really great guy. First "Facebook Official" relationship in over 2 years.

Name: Hayley
Age: 24
Background: I am 16 weeks pregnant and my ex fiancé who had only proposed to me 3 months before left me and bought his own house 3 weeks ago. This baby was planned and I have pcos which means it's a miracle I conceived naturally. He's now threatening joint custody.
Really heartbroken and scared I thought I'd come here to see if anyone is/has been in the same situation and how you cope being a single mum.

Name: Isabella
Age: 21
Background: I have a nearly 12 month old, her Father left me and moved to America (from the UK) before I even knew I was pregnant, and I send him pictures of her sometimes, but I don't think he cares much. Anyway, I found out I was pregnant and my family wasn't very supportive at first, apart from my father who had cancer and unfortunately passed away peacefully about 2 months before I had Sophia. But now they're pretty supportive of me and Sophia.

I have just found out that my husband has been cheating on me and I am very recently single. I was with him for 10 yrs and married for 6 yrs and our children are aged 3, 2 and 1. My head is still spinning and I am feeling detached from everything at the moment but trying so hard to get through this. Big milestone today - I haven't cried for 2 days!!!

everyone!!

This was a nice idea for a thread

I don't want to post my name and age but I'm mid twenties I have a lovely little boy who is 19.5 months old. My ex broke up with me when I was 4 weeks pregnant and I haven't seen him since. Pregnancy wasn't planned but very much wanted and loved from the first sight of that second line!! I can cook but I can't bake I have a degree in Chemistry and hoping to go back for a post grad within the next few years. At the moment I'm working part time in a job that has nothing to do with my degree xx

Single since conception My lo just turned a month old yesterday FOB doesn't know her name, birthday, or what she looks like... we're going to court so hopefully the fact that he doesn't know these things will help tons when the day comes. I have an overbearing ( I guess out of love) Mom and a traditional family that believes marriage comes first. So I find myself constantly standing my ground as to why I was in a relationship for all that time got engaged, set the wedding date, placed invitations ect. and no husband (HE's An A-HOLE) ! I'm starting to find my way though, and my lo is happy and healthy... couldn't ask for more

I have a gorgeous lil girl called sophia who is 1 in 10 days, I was told I couldnt get pregnant but 4 months after I met LOs dad had the best surprise of my life when I found out I was pregnant, FOB was excited aswell, but refused to respect my wishes of not telling anyone until after my 12 week scan and we started falling out because he wanted us to move near his family which is an hour away from my family and friends etc, anyway we broke up when I was 11 weeks pregnant, he refused to talk to me or help me out finacially with stuff for LO, hes still not paid a penny to this day. Anyway I love my single life with my baby girl and wouldnt change her for the world, everyday over this past year has been the best day of my life now I have my daughter. Before I fell pregnant I was a horse rider for a living, I havent sat on a horse since the day I found out I was pregnant, cant wait to get back in the saddle in a couple years and to take LO riding for the first time in the next couple months just hopes she loves it as much as me x

[stacey&bump]

name : stacey
age: 21
background: i have a beautiful 13 month old daughter eabha lily. i left her father officially a few weeks ago because of his drinking. He doesnt drink often but when he does he is a complete a**hole ! he wasnt supportive of me and kept hurting us over and over ! Myself and my daughter are currently living with my mother until we get our own place and im doing a childcare early years course so i can work full time , get a good career so me and my daughter are financially stable. All i want is the best for my daughter and aslong as shes happy, Im happy ! Some days are hard as I feel like a failure that eabha comes from a broken home but I know she will be much better off with a single happy mom rather than being with her father and being constantly unhappy and feeling let down

 

[Happy]

Name: Charlene
Age: 30

Im a single parent because my husband cheated on me 3 months after our wedding in March this year. I cant start divorce proceedings until March 2012 as we have to married a year under UK law, I cant belive something like this has happened to me but I know we will be fine.

I work in marketing and I have thrown myself into my career since this happened, im going to be studying for my CIM diploma shortly to make sure I create a good life for our daughter. OH is not too interested in seeing our 2yr old, he is having a major mid life crisis at 42 and decided single life suits him better.

I have a gorgeous little girl who is 1 in just under 3 weeks, and I have been single since she was about 6 weeks old due to her father basically acting like a waste of space. I work in a pub at night, but I am planning to train as a nurse as of next September, can't wait to get my little brain working again! I don't cook or bake my best dish is spaghetti bolognese, how embarrassing but I am planning to make an attempt at baking a birthday cake for Summer - accident waiting to happen?
