>Voni!
I am so proud of you for deciding to stay. Although you are probably scared without mom, it is time that you are on your own. Your mother must be wonderful; however, there is that safeguard with her. Now you are taking chances, but to you they seem extremem, but they are a part of moving on. If this man treats you nicely, is committed then that is great. Don't worry about the chances of being hurt. It is hard to move on and to take a chance and to trust someone, but you must.
I am glad that he helps yu through difficult times.
I hope that you feel stronger now that you have made this decision. I am sure that you will be lonely without your mom, but now it is time to focus on your children and your new relationshiop.
Good luck!Tx and not follow my mother to Baja California, this is the first time that I stay for a man see my familly moves around alot and I have always found it easy to leave a relationship no matter how long into it I had been. Well this time I am still not sure that I want this man to be that one for ever but I have 2 daughters and I am oviouslly a single parent to top it off I am 27 years old. I do suffer from depression and I have some real bad axiety attacks so bad that I hyper venilate, I am currently on Paxil and another deppressant that helps me sleep. Because of this disorder I find myself only wanting to be by my mothers side I feel like this little girl that is lost. My oldest daughter is 10 going on 11 thids Aug. I had her when I was 15 she looks like my little sister and sometimes acts like my mother, My baby is 7 and she is just a baby, she needs me and she is the reason why I keep going. My new boyfriend is a 34 yearsold man and he is so good to me, he is patient and is always making sure that I take my meds' he takes the kids off my hands when he sees that I am having one of my spazms...I have only known this beautiful stranger for like 5 months and he begged me to stay and give us a chnace at a new begining he is very responsible family oriented, he has his occasional drinks but is a wonderful father. So know I ask you did I make the right desicion? I mean I am origionally from L.A moved here to Tx to be cloose to MOM now that she s gone I stood for him very unsurely of my desicion I find that every day is an easier task.I am so use to the social scene and I really miss all of my frineds and especially my mom. Am I heading for a down fall? am I fooling myself? so I ask stroke of luck or gift from God?
