Hello, I know how you feel. My divorce was just final and I am now getting my name changed and starting a new life. Its a good thing, at least for the kids and I. What are you struggling with? I have had a few friends go through a divorce in the past couple of years, so I still have some single friends, but also have found new ones. I am 29 and also have 2 kids one is 8 and the other is 2. PM me if you want to chat.
I am a single mom. I haven't been through a divorce because fortunately we were never married only engaged it's much easier to brake off an engagement then it is to end a marriage. My kids are 7, 6, and 21 months so if you ever want to get together and talk or whatever just pm me.
***Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it***
I am also a single mom, but have not been through a divorce either. Everyones situation is a little bit different it seems, but it is always nice to have someone to talk to that understands to a certain extent. I only have one child and she is 4 1/2. I am always willing to talk anytime, so feel free to PM me as well. I understand how you feel when you don't want to come between your friends and their marriages, etc. I always feel the same way. I have some friends that are married with children and some friends that are single without children, but I don't know a lot of single mothers. Everything always gets better! Everything takes time...take things one day at a time and it will all work out. It is bound to get better. We all have rough times, married, single, divorced, no children, etc. you just have to keep your head up and think of all positive things you are doing to make your lives better for you and your children. Always think of the positives in everything! I am always here to talk if you want to! Hope this helps!
Yes, you are so right when you say that "Everyone's situation is a little bit different." I love being a single mom (my daughter just turned 5.) I have never been married and do not long for the emotional attachment to anyone other than my daughter. I could not be happier at this point in my life.
We have so much fun together and I cherish every day with her. She has a daddy who is great with her but living apart works perfectly for us. I only get crabby when he doesn't conditioner or comb her hair. I guess it could be much worse!
Perhaps it is because I am an "older mom" at 47 but I just don't sweat the petty stuff anymore (I don't pet the sweaty stuff either;)
I am also a single mom. My husband and I have been separated for over 6 months now and are looking for a good (cheap) lawyer for a non-contested, everything already worked out, friendly divorce...if you have any suggestions.
I do see what you mean about getting in between your friends' marriages but it actually the opposite for me. Being a single mom around all my single friends with no kids is hard! I have one boy who will be 2 next month and I would love to chat with you about things!

Hey there. I am a newly single mom. I have DS 7 and DD 5. I am 30 years old. I have found as I go through my divorce that I don't have single friends. I have great friends, but I don't want to come between them and their spouses! So, I am reaching out to make some new single mom friends. I consider myself a very good friend. Anyway, this is out there. I would also be interested in any information that some of you might have for me and my kids as we go through this!
