I never imagined I would find myself at 29 years old a single mother of four young girls. I always wanted to be a young mother – hey my mother had me at age 17 and I loved having a young mom, but she is still married to my father. I, on the other hand, do not have my children’s other half. Here I find myself all alone, trying to do my best to raise my children in the best way possible. I am so afraid my children will grow up hating me because I couldn’t make it work with their father.
Hi,
I’m going through a real difficult time right now and don’t know exactly how to handle it. I’ve been divorced for five years now, and started dating a man a year ago. We recently moved in together and my daughter who is nine absolutely adores him. However lately she’s been asking a lot of questions about him and if we kiss or sleep together, We constantly find her spying on us hiding on the stairs, listening through doors, that kind of stuff , and then she gets upset. I’ve already talked to her and reassured her that I don’t love her any less and that she will always be the most important person in my life but she continues with this behavior, and then asks me not to tell my boyfriend that she asks these things. I don’t know what to do anymore?
