How did you become a single parent

Here goes my storyI met my baby daddy on the 20 December 2009 . We started dating officially in 2010 March, I was based in Limpopo full time and he was based in Gauteng full time as he was working. He used to travel every weekend to come and see me in Limpopo. He was my 1st true love I can say. I felt pregnant in the same year and when I notice that I'm pregnant I told him and from there he never spoke to me. I used to use different numbers to call h but immediate when he hear my voice he would hang up the call. Tables turned I came to Gauteng to take care if some personal issues then I texted him to inform him of my whereabouts, one day I saw him showing up unexpected where I was visiting. we got a chance to talk and we amended our relationship. the very same month(August) I got a miscarriage. we didn't end our relationship, we continued. everything was fine and I started trusting him again. we pushed until I fell pregnant again in May 2011.He was excited and so I was. things went smooth until I was 7 months pregnant he then started changing day in day out. I gave birth February 2012 to a beautiful baby boy. things didn't get any better. the whole of 2012 it was ups and downs. he was supporting the child and I was not working by then. then I found a job in one of the famous store and I started realizing that nothing will get better and am raising a child in a toxic relationship with his father.2013 March I decided to end the relationship. We broke up and one week later I received a call from one of the biggest company to report to work the following week on a Monday. since that time I was able to raise my son alone with my salary because his father decided to stop supporting. the journey was not easy but I made it. today as we speak I met the love of my life whom is closing that gap of being a single mother. my current partner when he speaks about my son he speaks as if he is taking about his biological child. I am relieved and this journey taught me a very important lesson about life. we as human beings we have our own heart desires but the man above (God) has his own plans. Cynthia
