i don't know what type of mother i am.
but there's a goal
and as long as i keep the endgame in mind i tend to justify a lot.

i doubt he'd want children
and decide children aren't for him any longer
men have an attachment to fatherhood that rivals that of motherhood

true
he may decide he no longer wants the marriage
that doesn't invalidate the child/ren
just like marriage didn't validate them

every mother is a single mother unless she is in a relationship w/another woman, even still
i, as the woman who gave birth, am Mother
i gotta aim for that 101% all by myself
his Father has to strive for his
neither compensates for the other in those roles
where the work comes in is in parenting
that is where you can compliment and supplement and take over.

if you have evaluated yourself and deduced 101% ain't in you, you're entitled.
