Single Mom

Single mom, with two children, from different fathers. From a distance, you might think she’s promiscuous, or deserved what she got, or wasn’t smart enough. Draw closer, hear her out. You’ll realize it could have been you, or any other person who never wished to end up there.

When we meet a romantic partner, with all our readings, education, vigilance, and discernment, it is not always easy to foretell what that individual will turn into a few years down the line. Sometimes, the lady does her best to protect herself, but mistakes happen and before she realizes, she’s with child. There are times despite medications taken to abort a baby, the baby still comes out intact, unhurt by several attempts to terminate its life.

And a mother is born out of unforeseen circumstances.

Interestingly, it is during those defining moments that her partner unveils a side of him that’s been locked up in some cupboard in the dark, a new side the lady never saw coming. In the long run the gentleman breaks up with her, disappears and leaves the child and mother to fend for themselves.

The single mom closes her mind to romance, and anything that smells of a relationship, determined to fight hard to build a better future for herself and her child, until a new evangelist pops up from nowhere, preaching a better love she has never seen before, preaching a second chance at love.

Initially, the single mom might turn a deaf ear to his advances, but the idiot persists. After years of patience and sacrifice, the lady is convinced he deserves some attention, gives him a chance, and he in turn gives her a reason to never trust men.

The long and short of this tale is that the lady in question ends up with two children and no man.

She must now be the man and woman in her new relationship with herself, and of course with the children, without the help of any transgender operation.

With two children on her neck, her chances at a happy marriage with a new man are slim.

Which man will understand her story, and love her unconditionally, knowing she has children, and accept those kids as his own?

Her childhood dreams of becoming somebody her parents are proud of, with a man upon whose shoulder she can rest when the going gets tough, are all now on the verge of sinking.

All this time, the men that collectively led her to this guillotine are cruising in some fresh waters, living the life, cultivating and harvesting the sweetness of some newfound love while our single mom chew on bitter herbs she never cooked.
