Robin, not to be too personal, but where is their father? Is he involved? Re: marrying a rich man -- I was a single mom for a short time, so I remember what it is like. However, I only have one child, he is small, and I have always had lots of help and support. But puh-lease marry for love and a desire for a life-long commitment ONLY. I know you were probably kidding, but I suppose it is still worth saying.
I struggled for a long time about my relationship with Chris. I couldn't decide if I wanted to be with him because he was financially stable, mentally stable, would be a good role model for Collin, etc. All of those things are important, but I felt so much PRESSURE to look past all of those things and decide if I was really, REALLY, in love with him. I can't really describe what happened, but after one last knock-down-drag-out fight with DX, I got serious about making a life for myself and Collin alone. Once I did it, and KNEW I could make it on my own without a man, it hit my like a ton of bricks -- Chris is my best friend and the love of my life, my life partner. It was suddenly clear as day...
Enough about me... Someone else post!
