Hi there, just thought i would add myself to this list!!! I have a 9yr. old son and i too have been 'single Mum' since the beginning, my son's father decided he couldn't face the responsibility when i was just over four months pregnant....There has never been any contact, because he doesn't want it and never did. I have often thought about what i would do if i was in the position you are in Cali, if he suddenly decided he wanted contact..............And i agree that once you have done everything on your own so far, it is very difficult to imagine there being someone else trying to take part in any way.
There are times when i wish there was someone there to support me through difficult decisions regarding my son's life etc. but at the end of the day i have got used to making them myself, got used to being Mum and Dad at the same time, not sure if i have the balance right, but doing the best that i can and also got used to ALWAYS being there, disciplining and loving, even when i am having an off day myself ..................................

The Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay -
Love isn't love till it's given away......
