My Letter to the Single Mom with Fatherless Kids

YOU are not alone! There are so many of us in this world and especially in the States who are going through this pain.

Dear Mom,

Jesus is your only hope and I am just going to be very honest with you. There is a danger in you dating and allowing men to come in and out of your life. First of all, you have children who are torn because the most important man in their life is no longer there.

It is not okay to test the waters. Dating is absolutely fine, but you CANNOT bring your children around someone that you are merely dating. There is danger with this and I am going to tell you why. Please note that I am not a counselor, yet. I am giving my personal thoughts and feelings about this, because it is very serious.

Children become attached to people very easily. If you are with a man and they have no father in their lives, they will automatically cling to him, thinking this is Dad now.

It is of the utmost importance to guard their hearts. Because of the fact that you are bringing men into your life, with the possibility that they are going to leave, you WILL reopen old wounds in your children.

This cycle can and will repeat with every new boyfriend you introduce your kids to. Please be watchful of them and their feelings. Keep communication open at all costs and shower them with as much love as you can! They NEED it!
