    Hi mjtee7869 smart woman you are! Gracious and Generous! It's best for single Moms to wait till their children are at least big enough to KNOW what's What! e.g.: High School age, before considering dating again, if it didn't work out w/their baby's father. Providing the baby's father is sane enough to not prey on children! He can help co-parent, at least in the lane of protection. On the #KendraG dating show, when a single-Mom of small kids or a baby, no less! Come on the show, the chat-box shows Many Comments asking her or telling her: to Focus on raising her children before seeking 'new' man in her life! Children shouldn't be subjected to Adult Activities let alone Adult Illness! 😞

    You seem so very strong after all you’ve been through. Thank you for sharing your story. I have heard that some people get tattoos because it helps like cutting helps. When you told that part of your story my heart hurt for the hurt you experienced. Cathy O’Brien has written a book for people who have been abused and are survivors! She says that keeping a journal is so necessary and so helpful. How amazing you figured that out yourself. You are a very strong person. God bless you for the trauma you’ve suffered and I pray His blessings on you for what you are doing to help others! 🙏🕊✝️🩷🥰

    I’m very transparent about my story, in hopes to help the next person. When you’re young, confused without any guidance, I really didn’t know what to do, plus abortions are legal so at the time I felt it was my best option. I wouldn’t make that decision today, but I’m sure everyone has made a decision that they regret. Thank you for watching my story. God bless❤
