There are a multitude of reasons why a woman can become a single mother. My dad left my mom as soon as he found out she was pregnant, moved four states away, and didn't give her any information about where he was or how to contact him. It wasnt her fault. My mom is a tough lady, though, and managed to raise me to be a hard-working shitlady. You can be defined by your experience or you can be shaped by it. The choice is yours.
