hello all...just came across this site and thought it might be therapeutic to talk about my woes. i have been a single mom for over 10 yrs and it is really starting to affect my overall attitude. i am a very strong and independent women (financially and mentally), but am losing hope that i will ever find that special person to make my life complete. people always say, "it will happen someday", but i'm close to 40 and my life is very lonely and depressing, and i find it difficult to keep pushing forward, although i know i must for my daughters sake. i keep my sadness from her, but it's killing me inside. i've been trying to find some other venues in life to keep my spirit alive, but it's just not working. i don't expect anyone to have any easy answers, i just feel like i am consumed with finding a healthy relationship. i see people who have been involved / married forever and i am so unbelievably jealous and i hate that i feel that way. i am thankful everyday for my daughter and do have faith, but its just not always enough. can anyone relate? ↓

| hi maria i hear what you are saying. I'm 29 about to be thirty and i'm beginning to think i'm never going to find someone. Although i don't have any kids it's still bery depressing and sad sometimes. Especially when it seems all my friends are either married and have kids or just married. Please know you are not alone. ↑ |

| Hi Maria, I'm 49, single now for five years with an 8 year old daughter. Don't have much hope of finding a relationship anymore at my age and with such a young child. Plus, I'm picky and unwilling to settle! LOL! If the right man comes along, that would be great. But what if he doesn't? I think I'm going to have to make a great life without him. I also think that if I'm happy with who I am and excited about life, I'll be a more attractive and desireable person which may increase my chances of finding someone. Either way, it's a win/win situation, see? I've gone back to school, I'm changing careers and hoping to work in a field that I will enjoy. I'm involved in a single's group at my church that keeps me getting out socially. I have a few really great friends that I try to get together with as often as I can, rent a movie, pop some popcorn, drink some wine and laugh till it hurts. And I am enjoying my daughter so much! Life's not perfect, but it IS good! Hang in there and start making your life what you want it to be. Also, if you are depressed and you think you need some help pulling yourself out of it, go to your doctor and get something. I've been there, and if the depression is too serious, you won't have the energy to do the things I'm telling you to do. Good luck! ↑ |
