The mom's I know that were single moms--that are good friends of mine:
One was being physically abused by her "so"-and before anyone says "she knew this before she married him", well in her case that was NOT the case. He start abusing her toward the end of her pregnancy and it only got worse with time.
Another, the so left in the middle of her pregnancy, literally(they lived together--and he moved out and said he could no longer be in the relationship) and he does not pay child support or help her in anyway.
Another found out her so was cheating on her with several different women and left him.
The rest I know, for whatever reason the relationships didn't work out once the kids were brought into the world. It's odd too, now that I think about it, because a lot of them had REALLY good marriages/relationships prior to the pregnancies, and then it's like once they got pregnant, or had the child, I saw many of these relationships just go really down south.
I only know of one couple where the woman got pregnant to keep the man, who walked out anyway(and that is a very older cousin of mine).
It seems like the majority of single mom's I know, either were in abusive relationships, were being cheated on, or the relationships just didn't work out.
One was married since just out of high school, she's 29 now. She has two kids, was pregnant with the third when her husband flipped out, told her he wasn't ready and left her for a 19 year old. He hid his assets well and she gets nothing from him for child support or alimony, he planned on leaving all along.
The second was with her fiance for 6 years, she got pregnant and 2 days after she told him he disappeared. Literally left in the middle of the day while she was at work, took all of his stuff and left. She had to find a roommate to finish out her lease and then move back home with her parents because she couldn't afford it anymore especially with the baby on the way.
The third is a good friend of mine who divorced her husband because he was abusive to her and their child.
Shame you don't also know these three men because then you could get the other side of the story.

Have you ever talked to any of these men to get the other side of the story or do you simply assume what you are told by these women is completely true?
For every single mother, there is a deadbeat father.
