This is such a big issue for me because i want the best for my son. It breaks my heart that my sons father won 't be in his life and i am constantly worrying about how this will affect him. Even though I know it 's not completely my fault, sometimes I feel like if i would 've done things differently, then maybe my son would never have to wonder why he doesn 't have a father or wonder why his father does not want to be in his life. On top of that I wonder if i will be a good mother or not. This is my first child so i never had the experience of being a mother.

Undoubtedly, these strategies are helpful in advancing for the future, but I felt that these strategies would not drastically impact my studies in the course of a week.
