Ya know, I never realized how hard it was to be a single parent, until I marred my husband.
I guess, not having anything to compare it to, I just thought it was normal parenting…then when John and I marred, moved in together, and started co-parenting, I was amazed! LOL
Single parenting, without the support of family and friends was much harder than I thought it would be…of course, my son has special needs, which is hard enough to handle in a two parent home most days.
I may get bashed for saying this…but being a single parent, at least for me, was much harder than making (and following thru) with the adoption plan. It was the one “reservation” I had when I found out I was pregnant after I got married…there is no way in the world I could be a single parent to two, I will openly and honestly admit that right now, I do not have what it takes.
Unfortunately, we lost the babies (it was twins)…but I have to admit, thinking about having another child, or even adopting, really scares me…because if something where to happen, I couldn’t raise them alone…how disgusting is that?
