About Single Mom Dating

Hello! I’m Sara and a single mother to an 8  a 9 year old boy.

I had married my highschool sweet heart in 1996 when I was only 20 years old.

When I was 25, I became pregnant with my son. My then husband and I wanted to start our family, our son was planned. I became pregnant just two weeks after stopping my birth control pills. I had a gut feeling I was having a boy and at 16 weeks into the pregnancy, it was confirmed we were expecting a boy. I gave birth to my son in March of 2002.

In 2005, I was a stay at home mother and running a small online toy shop. I loved my life! I was going on 9 years of being married to the most amazing man. He was super intelligent, a hard working and devoted employee, a great bread winner, a good husband, a good father (most of the time) and he was handsome to boot!

My husband got addicted to a MMORPG and began to make that video game a priority over everything; including my son and I.

Over the next 8 months I saw my husband slipping farther and farther away from me. We began to argue just about everyday and the argument was almost the same; him spending too much time playing a video game instead of spending time with me or helping with our son. He began to hang out with a female player in the video game often and eventually he left the marriage to be with her.

I was a mess when I found out. I was devastated, crushed and felt as though dying would be far better than the pain of a broken heart. Six months after he left, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and decided pick up my heart and what was left of my very being. I marched down to a lawyer’s office and decided to proceed with a divorce. I started taking charge of my physical body both mentally and physically. I dropped 25 pounds in three months and I read books on getting passed the hurt of betrayal. I also went back to school since I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to support myself or my son. And I also took one of the most exciting and terrifying steps, I began dating for the first time.
