[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom also. Stop overthinking it. You will know the people who are judging you about it, truly. Maybe some of them are also single parents who want to welcome you to their club. As a single parent, you will be wanting other people around and frankly, other single parents are the best because they get it. Mostly, though, they're just curious. You don't owe anyone the long drawn out story. But you need to own it yourself. If you feel "less than" that will color your interpretation of everyone else's actions. All I ever said was "I was getting old, so I decided to do it on my own". Never heard anything negative back. The only response I did consistently get was from single women in their 50s and 60s who said "I wish I had had the courage to do what you did." If you look for offense you will find it, but that just makes you sad. Why do that to yourself?[/quote]
