I HAVE RAISED MY SON WITH OUT HIS MOM IN THE PICTURE FOR NEARLY 10 YRS, AND THE ADVSIE I CAN OFFER YOU IS THAT HELL YEAH ITS VERY HARD TO DO IT ALL ALONE, YOU CAN NEVER JUST RUN TO THE STORE FOR SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR CHILD "READY" JUST FOR THAT QUICK TRIP THEN HAUL THEM IN AND BACK OUT. YOU MAY END UP CHANGING YOUR INTIRE LIFE STYLE BECAUSE OF YOUR CHILD AND MAY MISS OUT ON THINGS IN LIFE, BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE RATHER THEN GET HUNG UP ON THAT LOOK AT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS,IF HE IS NOT GOING TO BE THERE FOR YOUR CHILD YOU GET TO SPEND ALL THE CHILDS LIFE MAKING HIS OR HER BEST MEMORY'S (AND THEY WILL ALL BE WITH YOU IN THEM), AND YOU DONT HAVE HIM IN THE WAY MAKING LIFES REALLY TOUGH CHOICES EVEN HARDING BY HAVING TO ARGUE ON HOW YOU MAY DEAL WITH THEM, ITS ALL YOUR CALL, AND IF THIS UPSETS HIM HE CAN BE TOLD TO BE MORE INVOLVED. BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU ARE BLESSED WITH AND JUST ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE GOOD POINTS TO THIS SITUATION, BECAUSE CHANCES ARE HE WILL NEVER CHANGE HIS WAY

WELL TO ME IT TOTALLY SOUNDS AS IF HE TOLD EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO HEAR TO GET YOU INTO BED. IF HE REALLY ENJOYED THE "WHOLE PICTURE" HE WOULD DO ANYTHING IT TAKES TO MAKE TIME FOR YOU TO CHAT TO HANG OUT. ITS ASHAME GUYS LIKE HIM HIM MAKE US ALL LOOK BAD. BUT DONT GIVE UP ( JUST GIVE UP ON HIM). GOOD LUCK TO YOU
