I'm writing a book
This simple discovery left me confused. If the concept of a single mother is devoid of all meaning and has no right to exist, who will my book be about? It’s simple: it just so happens that I have no hope and support in the person of a faithful husband, but I do have a wonderful child. And the joy of having it is about a million times greater than the grief of not having it. Every morning I jump up from my bed to the ringing cry of “Mom!” “Where is the porridge?” - and I feel completely happy...

I continue
And quite naturally, the idea of this book arose - about me, for me and for single mothers like me. I energetically got down to business - and immediately tripped over these capital letters “Single Mother”. How many times have I heard them, and sometimes I had to pronounce them myself, but this was always done somehow automatically. And then suddenly, for the first time, I listened consciously to the term - and was amazed at its absurdity. How so? After all, the word mother essentially cannot...

The arrival of the baby
The world is not without kind people: some friends got me an old computer, others - a job; From a novice psychologist, I temporarily retrained as a typist, editor and translator. Gradually, I began to notice that the new activity fascinated me no less than my beloved psychology and I did not want to part with this temporary work. Fortunately, quite quickly I realized that both areas of interest are quite compatible and I can successfully be a psychologist, not only a practicing one, but also ...

I am pregnant
The last compliment finally clarified his own intentions to me: he did not intend to share responsibility for the child with me - “he was not ready.” Being civilized people, we maintained relations for some time, talking politely on the phone, but gradually it became clear that, in general, we had nothing to say. By the time my little alien was born, telephone conversations had gradually faded away. So I set foot on the crooked path of “single motherhood”. After the birth of the child, of cou...

Great happiness in a small family
It all started simple and banal. Having learned about my pregnancy, the Man of Dreams began to spout some nonsense on the topic: “Maybe there’s no need to rush, it seems to me that we’re not ready yet...” and so on. I honestly answered that there was really no need to rush now, since the child was now, at least, quite ready to be born - otherwise it wouldn’t have started, right? The discussion did not last long. The man of my dreams nobly admitted that he respects my choice, my courage and in...
