who am I

Who am I? I'm a college student from the urban community. I recently had my first child at the age of 27. It was a boy. He is the most beautiful and precious thing in my life at the moment. Everything I do I think about how it could affect my child. Even when i'm upset I have to think about him first. I found out Iwas preggo's on July 3, 2009. That was one of the happiest days of my life. I was overjoyed with the thought of becoming a mom. My child was planned... I had been trying for years. I called my boyfriend to tell him the good news and that's when the ball started going downhill. He denied my child! Our child! I started this blog to support single parents who are making the challenge. This blog is for moms who put their kids first no matter what. I feel i can talk about this topic because i'm living it. The old folks say there's no better teacher than experience. I feel its nothing wrong with learning from someone else experience. In short I hope to learn from other mothers out there who are making the challenging and hopefully someone can learn from me. Together US moms will encourage each other.

Lesson 1- Accept Denial
The first thing I had to do was accept the fact that my child's father was an idiot. We were together 7 years and that still didn't mean a thing, as soon as I told him the news he went into denial. I was upset, frustrated, depressed, angry, betrayed, lied, and bascially slapped in the face. To get over the hurt i first had to accept it!
