"As a parent, naturally, you want to give your child all that you can, but then you are confronted with situations where you know you must do a thing even though every fiber of your being just doesn’t want to, but because you’re the only one available for the job, you haven’t much choice in the matter. Dilemmas like these are what I’ve personally coined as “the single parent’s plight.”

"These were the cards that were dealt to me. I was met with yet another bout of “the single parent’s plight.” I was strong, and I was resourceful, and I was going to find a way to make it work."
-TNB
"I was at a point where I was confident in the fact that “God didn’t make mistakes,” and he certainly didn’t bring me this far for me to continue selling myself short."
-TNB

"I had only been dating the father of the unborn for about a little over eight months. The eight-month relationship that I had with the father had already been a bumpy ride, not to mention the "drug addiction" he had been wrestling. I had never been addicted to anything in my life and therefore underestimated the severity of his addiction or even the turbulent future I would inevitably come to have."
