Hello

My name is Dominique. I'm a 31 year-old single mom of one 9 year-old daughter. I became single while 4 months pregnant and have been single ever since. Although things have gotten better as my daughter has grown older, emotionally I'm still struggling. I'm the only girl out of seven kids and was a hard core tomboy,for a long time. So growing up I did not give much thought into having children. Nevertheless, I do recall pondering the possibility of motherhood a few times, and the picture that I conjured up in my mind then. Is completely incongruent with my current reality.

I have never had any kind of support from anyone, every, and believed that was what single parenthood consisted of, a lack of support. However, I now realize and understand the importance of having support (mainly emotional) and how I so need it as a single mother. So that's what I'm here for, to receive and give emotional support. Things have not always been peachy; nevertheless, my daughter is doing amazing. I do want to have another child, one day. However, I'm currently focused on finishing school ( yes, I'm 31 and still stuck in school ) my daughters, getting healthy, growing, and learning.
