Sometimes it is difficult for a single mum to go into a new relationship because of her child(ren) involved. The first step for her is to overcome the fear of rejection and she must do well to open up. There was a case of a single mum willing to denounce her child to be with a man. This is unnecessary, whoever loves her would stick to her regardless. However, here is a better way she should have gone about it:
1. Don’t be afraid to speak up
Your past relationship should never be the yardstick to measure the future one. Yes, admit you made mistakes but don’t tie yourself to that guilt forever. Be wary of listening to judgemental people. Trust the one you getting involved with and tell him about your child.
2. Be the one to open up
Don’t let someone else inform your man about your child. Go to the one you love and tell him about your children.
3. Test to see how much he loves you
Tell your man about your child to know how much he loves you. If he truly loves you, he would want to know more about your child and his/her father. If he leaves, it shows he was never serious. He didn’t really love you or can’t handle the situation.
4. Move
Rejection is never the end. It means you should try better at the next one. Dust yourself and look forward to the next relationship. Exercise caution this time around after you have allowed yourself to heal from the last relationship. Allow love to grow in your heart, for you can’t give what you don’t have.
