You can’t blog about it
by SINGLEMOMSEEKING on JULY 22, 2012
I first started blogging about my dating life as the single mom of a toddler for Literary Mama. Way back in 2003. I knew someday my daughter — who spun around me in her tutu as I typed — would become a teenager. But that day seemed so far away.
Which explains why I wrote about my life so openly. The nights when I felt like I had no one to turn to, you, my readers, showed up, listened, and left comments.
Deep into single motherhood by then, I knew I could do this alone. But I didn’t want to. Underneath my self-deprecating jokes, and I-had-another-horrible-date grumbles, I wanted to be with a man who’d say “I’m here” for the rest of my life.
