Hi i'm new

by Mommyof4Comment Published at 21:0621:062 comments2 comments35 Visits35 VisitsReport

 Hi i'm a recently single mom of 5. I was a single mom once before 3 years ago. When i was pregnant with my third child my husband committed suicide. i was happy because he was abusive and i was trying for years to get away. 3 years ago i got remarried and had twins. a year later i was pregnant again but the baby died at 15 days old because he was premature. about a year or so ago my husband and i decided to get a divorce since he was never home and we were growing apart, we figured it best. i have full custody of my kids and the divorce will be final in a month. I'm afraid to be a single parent again but i do have a boyfriend. we have been dating for 11 months. we meet just after my husband and i got a divorce and we have been attached at the hip since. He has 2 kids of his own from a previous marriage. Recently we have been talking about getting married when the divorce is over, do you think it's too soon? and also my kids like him but don't want me married again, and they def. don't want 2 more siblings and heck who knows if we get married i may have more kids. i just don't know what to do.

Hi there. Sorry I can't make the decision for you. Every situation is different and if it is right then time is not really the issue, it is whether you will be happier and more secure together. Because I have teenage kids and my boyfriend has kids of his own we made the decision to keep our separate lives though it is working that way for us. I am sure there are many single mums where combining kids has been good for them. Only you can know that. Welcome by the way. It is good that your kids like your boyfriend too. My kids like mine too and it is good that they have a good role model around. My kids are also friends with his kids. How often would his kids be over though? Mine has his only every second weekend. If you are having such serious doubts or resistence from your children maybe just start slowly and keep your separate houses and see how it goes. Good luck!
