I've studied with a guy who was handicapped, stuck in a wheelchair for life. He was from a wealthy family, he had all sort of things money could get, he had parents who paid for everything. Yet, he insisted on failing at everything, mostly from a mixture of laziness and lack of drive, and then tried to play the handicapped card as an excuse for everything. It wasn't endearing, it was just disgusting. People with more disabilities and with nowhere the same conditions as him are around making much more effort and succeeding, wanting to do it despite being disabled in some way.
If you act in real life the same as you act here, can you blame people if they try to avoid you? They have their own problems, they don't need to carry yours too. Sharing problems with a good friend occasionally is fine, but if it's the majority of what you do it just ends up annoying people and driving them away.
And what's wrong with single moms? They like kids, they often would like a father figure around with their kid, they have a natural tendency to like and admire men who are good with kids, which I assume you are.
