[ Original Post ]

I am here looking to chat and find support from others in similar situations.
I have three children from a failed marriage. Twin girls who are 8 years old and my son is 5 years old. They are wonderful and I have managed the whole "single parent" thing fine so far thanks to all the support I have gotten from friends and family.
But now I find myself pregnant again. My boyfriend and I broke up 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant. He quickly moved on (kinda, he fooled around with his best friends wife. They are "swingers" so his best friend encouraged it) and then recently he came back asking me to marry him. Of course, I can't consider this because of our drama/history but I can't seem to get a hold of my emotions.
I am 26 weeks along, and I am finally getting excited about having my baby. But I am not feeling my usual strong, independent self.
I need encouragment! So, here I am. *sigh* ↓

Well, honey, you have taken on more in life that I could ever imagine and my hat is off to you for being able to handle single-motherhood with 3 kids already! If you don't mind me asking, did you mean to get pregant with each of your children, or were they all "surprises"? Hang in there...I know this is a difficult time, but I think you absolutely made the RIGHT decision by not marrying that guy...I personally find the swinger lifestyle disgusting and its certainly not something that you would want to bring your children around. ↑
