NimirRa's blog: "My Opinion"

I have a huge problem with people stereo typing single parents...just got done reading something that was to a point, maybe correct to a certain extent, but in another sense disturbing...not all single parents made a bad decision in whom they had children with...unfortunately life isn't perfect...it never was and never will be...I didn't choose to be a single parent, but that is the cards I was dealt...and I take the responsibility seriously...I have other friends who are single parents who also have been left to raise their children on their own and also take their responsibility seriously...it does not make us bad people because the other person was the "wrong" person for one reason or another...I would rather raise my children alone than have their biological father be a part of their lives...at least now, they have a chance to be influenced with morals and values that I was raised with and not with the backwards back stabbing lies that they could have been raised with....sometimes people have to make choices and sacrifices for the better, and if the decision is to raise my children alone...then it was a decision I made for the good...I made that decision for my children...to give them a better chance at a better life...granted, there are people out there who did, in plain English, fuck up and didn't give a shit about what they were doing, but everyone can't be categorized and judged on decisions that someone doesn't know the circumstances that was surrounding the situation...I am proud to be a single mother...I am proud of my children...I am proud of my family and friends for the love and support they have given me...I am proud of my friends who made better decisions for their children...life isn't fair and it will throw a few curve balls your way, but it is how you swing and deal with that ball...and I think I have made some pretty good damn decisions in my life...and I've made some bad, but the only person I can blame is myself for those...I will never regret my children or the decisions I have made for myself or my children...they give me reason to live and love to the fullest...
