From Bitter to Better, “Enduring the Single Mother Struggle” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Damika Davis

It’s all too common of a story, boy meets girl, have baby with girl, break up with girl, than girl uses kid (s) as a weapon to destroy the child’s relationship with the father. Contrary to what many of you believe, this is a common occurrence in failed relationships. All in the act of a woman’s petty tactic of revenge.

In the meantime, nobody wins and the child or children miss out on what’s valuable in healthy relationships and suffer in the end.

This was somewhat the case with Damika Davis (pictured above), a single mother who is author of the book “Enduring the Single Mother Struggle”. Damika not only evolved in her experiences but in her book she shares her means for healing, the lessons she’s learned and the wisdom obtained in the midst of her own struggles. 

Davis writes:

“In my selfishness, I pushed my child’s father away not allowing him an opportunity to try to be a father to his child……valuable time was lost but the wisdom I learned is a testimony to encourage other single mothers to get over it and endure.”  

Book_Cover_Single mothersJoin me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as my guest Damika Davis will discuss how she’s grown from bitter to better, “Enduring the Single Mother struggle”. Having found her purpose, sustained her family, maintained healthy relationships, having released distracting strongholds in order to ultimately seek peace.

As usual you can access tonight’s show at any of the “Conversations” links in this post!

I’ll meet you all on the air!

  45. That’s one fine ass single mother. Wonder if she’s still single?? But you know I don’t date single moms. I think when you date single moms that’s like “robbing the poonanah” cause she’s somebody’s mama. If men get with single mothers they should do so with an intent not just to date er for fun but something more long-term. she has a kid to set a good example for. JMO.

    Why have a partner (husband, boyfriend) if you are gonna be unhappy. That will only hinder the development of your child! Yea sometimes there is struggles like finances. But its great! I wouldn’t change it for the world!
