The truth is, every son raised by a single mom is pretty much born married. I don't know, but until your mom dies it seems like all the other women in your life can never be more than just your mistress.

About This Quote

When you are raised by a single mother, your mother is often your first, and for some time, your only girlfriend. However, it is also true that almost every son raised by a single mother later marries his mother’s best friend. When you are young, the woman who marries your father is often not his wife. After all, your father is not your real father.

He is just the biological father of your birth. If you have a single mom and a married dad, you will have a step-dad. And if he dies or divorces your mom, then she will remarry a different man after that same time has passed.

This is the reality of being raised by a single mother.
