| Prayer Requests:Single motherhood
|
| My daughter's father and I were never married. I never planned on having a child at 24, out of wedlock, and by myself but that is what has happened. I was beginning a really great career in the city I loved and I gave it all up to raise my daughter in a city near my mom (really the only family i have). My daughter's father has abandoned us emotionally and financially.Her father has not seen her in over 7 months! I call but he doesn't return my calls or never keeps the plans to see her. I send pictures and cards... but no response. When the baby was Christianed at church for her 1st birthday he didn't even come and both parents are supposed to be there.It was sad. I love my daughter and I never really knew my father. I do not have a lot of family so i want my daughter to know her father. But what should I do? Continue to call and send pictures? I pray every day about this. I am so lost. My daughter is getting old enough now to start realizing that most girls have their daddies. It's heartbreaking.I know there are no straight answers -I REALLY need direction on this . Please. Thank you and God BLess.

I know what you are going through. I am walking along the sides of you. My 2 yr old son and I are happy and content. Mommy and child familys are just as good if not better than 2 parent families. You are feeling sorry for yourself and your daughter. Live life. You do not need a man to survive and be happy. Tell your daughter she does'nt have a daddy because he only wanted to make you out of the love he had for you out of his heart. Don't dwell on the "daddy" part. Be strong and look up to the lord for strength. It's ok to have down times. You are feeling rundown from trying to do it all. You feel, it's not fair that other women have the work done by a man. I know I feel that from time to time too. Be positive about the future. God bless and don't give up hope. The world needs us single parents to raise the next generation of our heirs. Do not send anymore items to the father. Let him answer to the lord when his time comes (hebrews 4:13) let him feel the guilt. I know its hard. I feel like sometimes I want to do the same thing, but It only sets you up for more heartache, when you want him to turn around and say, I'm a silly fool and sorry, I want to be with you and my child. Let him wonder how you've been doing it all alone. My son does'nt even know, but his father is his "uncle" it was an agreement we made. we work together. I'ts hard. I talk about him to the father, thinking he would feel like he abandon his duty to be a father |
