There once lived a lady that was a single parent with two children, a boy and a girl. She lived with neighbours who were happily married, Her two children used to see their friends going out with their parents and at times watched them playing.
The youngest child of the lady was the boy and one day asked her why his dad was not coming from work. The reason he asked was because the friend’s dad used to come back from work and the friends would run to meet him.
The lady did not know what to tell the boy. One day the lady was visited by her new boy friend and she told her children that he was uncle Richard. Uncle Richard and the lady disappeared for about an hour within the house and then appeared again.
Uncle Richard eventually left and the boy asked the mother why uncle Richard was hiding and why he has gone because he wanted to play with him since his dad is not coming back from work?
The lady had no answers for her son and was now regretting why she had kids without getting married. One day the boy told the mother that he wanted to live with the neighbour so that he can have the friend’s father as his father.
Many people do not think of the trauma they cause to kids that live without father and mother under the same roof. Before you decide to became a parent, think for the baby first and not just the pleasure of making that kind.
Yes you may enjoy and have fun but the product will be deprived of that joy. Before you you think of divorcing, think about the kids first.
Yes you may want to opt out because of what your spouse could have done but do you realise the permanent damage you will cause to those innocent children. People who odt for divorce are the most selfish creatures on earth and God never grants peace as long as they live.
Single parents that are ladies, alaways remember that your new boyfriend is first interested in playing with you and not another man’s kids. Learn and avoid pleasure that will bear pain for others,

Sometimes it is better to raise a child alone than with a disgruntled partner.
