Theres nothing wrong with having a child out of wedlock. It seems to be more common practice anymore

I beat myself up about separating with my daughter’s father while she was young. Her father continuously made me feel like crap for it telling me I was “sinning” and that I was a terrible mother for leaving him but the truth is; he was abusive mentally, emotionally and physically and he can’t admit it.

I met my boyfriend (who also has a kid) and been with him for almost 8 months. My boyfriend reassured me that I was doing what was best for my daughter and nothing her bio dad says is true about me.

I’m not sure if the father of your child is in your baby’s life or wants to be or etc.. but just know that you are doing the best you can with what you have. People make mistakes but you got a blessing out of it, there is no doubt in my mind that you’re a great mama! Don’t beat yourself up about this, stuff happens…. Your baby is lucky to have you as his/her mama!❤️🫶🏽
