Bad Boys
Quote From: mlrssweetyI am 27 years old and I used to date nothing but "bad boys". You know the kind, into drugs and things like that. I was used, cheated on, beat on and left. When I was 17 I ended up pregnant and of course became a single mom. I am one of the few lucky ones who had my parents support to bring this child home to. One day as a guy I was seeing, yes he was a bad boy, went to pick my son up and my son started screaming like I had never heard before. At the time he was only about 2 months old. At that point something clicked with me. I not only had to make sure that I raised my son but I had to protect him from becoming a bad boy. I realized that I didn't want my son to grow up and become that, so why would I degrade myself to be around that. I can honestly say that my son is my angel sent from above. I was headed down the wrong path with dugs, sex and alcohol. When I had him I went from a kid to an adult in 7 1/2 months (he was early). I almost died having him which also made me realize that I couldn't mess around with bad boys, drugs etc. I met my husband when I was 17 but didn't know it then! He was a jock not a bad boy! When I was 19 we were reunited and he accepted my son as his own which won my heart over. I realized what I would of missed if I would of stayed on that dark path. I have been married for almost 8 years and have 3 great boys. My husband adopted my oldest and it is unbelievable how he loves him so much. He has been there since he was 9 months old. It's amazing how much the stress from then to know is so much different. I was always scared of being hit, or get caught up in something criminal, now I just worry about how I am going to get the kids to there footall practice! BAD BOYS AREN'T WORTH THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT THEY PUT WOMEN THROUGH. THE REASON WE DATE THEM IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SELF ESTEEM IN US TO THINK THAT WE DESERVE BETTER. I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU, WE DO. WE DESERVE TO BE LOVED AND HAVE SECURITY IN OUR LIVES. Sincerley, HAPPY AS CAN BE IN INDIANA I think women date "bad boys" partly because it's "Hollywood." If you look at say Sandra Bullock or other female celebs, they date/marry bad boys. We, as fans, copy what celebrities do. We don't realize, until its too late. They can afford quickie divorces, we cannot. With celebrities getting the publicity they do for these mistakes; the reward is profitable. For us "everyday folk" its not.
