Annual golf tournament raises thousands

Even though the many golfers came away with prizes from the 13th annual Acadian Golf Tournament, the winners are the youth who will be able to participate in the 2019 finals of Les Jeux de l’Acadie, thanks in part to the funds raised at tournament.

About 20 months ago, after I found out I was pregnant, I was abandoned by the father of my child. My mother had passed away a month before. So, I was grieving, shocked to discover I was pregnant and devastated when I was left for another woman.

I went through my pregnancy alone, gave birth alone and am now a single mother.

While my child and I are blessed – I have a good job, Momma left me some money that has helped me buy a home, and my friends are supportive – my heart is broken.

My son’s father pays child support, but his priority is the woman he left us for.

Everyone tells me I need to be the bigger person, accept the situation and give my son a chance to know his father. I understand all of that, but I am so angry. I feel rejected and debased. I cry all the time. I try to keep a positive face for my son, but sometimes I break down.

My son’s father and his lady make fun of me and flaunt how happy they are together while I am alone raising my child.

The woman enjoys pointing out how hard I have it and how alone I am.

My son is my joy and I love him dearly, but why am I not allowed to be angry at his father and that woman? Why must I be the one who accepts the hurt and difficulty,
