My mom said to me...When you are a single parent you dont know what it means to live, you only know how to exist. She then went on to say that you learn to exist for your child, but never for yourself. That being a single parent was not a way to live if you have another choice.
Those words have stuck with me for the last 18 years taht I have lived the journey of being J's birthmom. Honestly though I look back and realize that I would rather have had the simple existence of a single parent than the existence that I have had as a birthmom. At least as a single parent I would have had my daughter with me.
