So here I sit a mother of one who swore up and down I would never put myself in that postion again and boom I am pregnant again. The first time yes it was a stupid one night stand but I have no regrets since my daughter is wonderful. This time I was with the person for a year and a half and belive me when I say he ran just as fast as the one night stand when I told him.
I guess you can say I am a little bitter. People say I am a super hero with the way I balance running a inner city community centre and still manage to be a great parent, but I think my pride has just survied one beating only to get knocked down once again.
I don't have family in the city and when i had my daughter the few friends I had vanished ( I am the only one with kids) I cannot help feeling pissed off and alone.
Please tell me someone knows how I feel and there really is an end to feeling this way.

Mothers are superhero's no matter how you look at it. You sound like you are doing well in your career and motherhood.

I am a mother of a 7yr old boy. I said I wouldn't get pregnant again without being married. I married and two and a half years later I am awaiting a divorce and have a 1 yr old daughter from that relationship. You just need to be strong for your children while you take care of yourself. You can do it.

Ok, so don't feel so bad. I was married the first time at 24, had two fabulous kids, and took me a while to leave (abusive but passive aggressive). Was a HAPPY single mom for 4 years after that, and then, met and got involved with a high school friend, and we quickly got pregnant...so I MARRIED him, just to make it all look ok to my kids!!!! It was the darkest 3 years of my life, and I'm now split from him ...back on my own...single Mom again, but now with 3 kids from 2 different dads who hate me!! Yes, my life is a Danielle Steele novel, but I crawled out of the mess. There is always something better ahead, and you have to believe that. You are on this planet to figure it all out, and you can't do it in a day. Treat each new chapter as an adventure and you will stop feeling badly about whatever you're facing.
