[QUOTE="CavemanLawyer, post: 1978986, member: 720223"] Never, let peoples approval control your life. You see, if you must have their approval, then when they withdraw it, wala u are manipulated. So, first gain your sense of self worth from what you know to be true about yourself. Be independent and be the person you want. It is a tough job raising a child, however, there are lots of mothers who do. When you get some free time, like when your parents are watching the child, then get involved in some activity you enjoy. Now, it may not be the bar scene, but just explore the possibilities. I was single for some time, and I realized this. I made it much harder on myself by isolating myself on purpose.
