I am genuinely disgusted by the thoughtless behavior of others who use their own narrow definitions to judge my life. Being a single mother does NOT make me worthy of other's pity. It doesn't mean I need to be set up with, introduced to or "courted" by one of your friends or acquaintances. There's nothing wrong with me, you needn't fix me, and I don't *owe* anyone an explanation for what "made" me a single mom (the book is available in any bookstore).

I suppose, in short, I am a Heartless Bitch because I have the audacity to live my life as a happy, content woman raising a strong, self-confident daughter in a predominantly Mormon part of Utah. It's not only (apparently) a bad example for the young future wives in the area, but it's selfish and my daughter will suffer for it.

Hopefully, this brief sketch will help illustrate the reason for my "attitude" and why I rejoice at a place where there's evidence of other women outside of my immediate circle of friends willing to live their lives in a way that makes them happy...social judgment be damned.

Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
