People give me money and that's cool because holy shit is life expensive. Every guy I know (I only meet people at work) has tried to get in my pants. Gross. The stuff I learned on voat about single moms being good for nothing except a quick lay is a real attitude that some men have. I don't want sex, I want a hug. It's very difficult to not get those daily hugs from a grown man anymore. My children didn't just lose their father, they also lost their mother. I am a completely different person and I'm still changing. I have to be tough and that is not feminine. But I'm still alive and haven't quit doing what I have to do even though I want to burn everything down and fuck off to the woods and cry forever.

Thanks to everyone who replied, even the ones who weren't nice. I do have one female friend that helps me a lot. And I will take your advice and call myself a widow instead of a single mother even though the word makes me sad.

You're widowed. You didn't make stupid choices, life just happens. Yes, jerks will try to just "get into your pants" or skirt as the case may be.

To properly raise kids, you really need a male role model. Problem, how to pick the right one. First off, make friends. Ask for small favors just to see the reaction. Safe favors: Ask a friendly guy who is self sufficient to go pick up supplies because you can't leave your kids alone. Give him cash and see how honest he is. If he brings back change to the penny and gives you a receipt to prove he spent exactly what you gave him and didn't take anything for himself is a test of his honesty.

Another good test is if he will happily fix something around the house that's broken. Believe me, this is a guy's job. If he really likes you, he will do this stuff for free.
