Topic : A Single Mom Looking for Support Goup

I know what you mean.  Like I said my husband works 3 shift at 12 hr days and when he gets home he is sleeping so the only time I get to see him is his days off and he wants to relax so I still dont get much of the outside world without the kids inless I go food shopping.  I would love to stay in touch with you and have someone to talk to in which everything I say is not replayed with why mommy.  HAha.  It's nice to know I am not the only mom out there who is married and still has to do much on her own. Darlene

 I am not a single mom but have a good friend that is,...I would like to be involved if its ok........also if you have y messenger we could all do that ,...keep me posted..

I'm home alot so any time there is something on on your mind  sadie_lg@yahoo.com      Yah right now my four kids are getting over a chest cold. FUN  The last one is Dietrich 4 had a 103.5 temp.

Hi I am not a single mom.  My husband and I have been married for 6 years but he works 3rd shift and so he sleeps all day and I spend all my time taking care of my kids.  Although I am not a single mom now I was before so I do know how hard it is.  I was with my second child and my husband and I split up for a year and I had to work hard and take care of our first child while getting things ready for the second child.  My husband and I got back toghter and have been for a little over 2 years.  Things are doing fine but I still have the indepementsingle way of my self. I will always until I feel that we will be toghter for ever.  I am home alone so much and it would be so nice top have a friend to talk to.  I would love to talk so please write me back.

 

        Hi there. I too am a single mom. I have six children. 4 of my own, a step-daughter, and my step-daughters sister just recently moved in. I think having a support group is a wonderful idea. Its always nice to have some one to talk to. The weird thing about you and I is I also injured myself and thought I would be doomed for life. I am expected to have back surgery. I am putting this off because I know I can not spend any time off of work to recover. I would end up homeless. I work at a hospital, so changing jobs was pretty smooth. I am scared every day that I will fall, or injury myself further. I am working on college courses as well to further myself, and not have to rely on anyone. So I say to you, there are people out there just like you, and it will be O.K. You just can never give up.

I am new to Dr. Phil.  I just got off of the obsessive love forum.  Wow.  I too got out of a verbally abusive marriage 2 1/2 years ago.  I am  now a single mom to three kids, one who is deaf, one with ADD, and another who still wets her bed from bladder problems.  It's not easy is it?

 

I was able to buy a house when I left and I do get some okay alimony and child support.  I also found a way to work from home, which I love.  Thank God for that.  I am a stay at home single parent and love it.

 

I am battling my deaf son's school right now because he needs to go to the school for the deaf but they don't want him.  They just want deaf only kids and he has CHARGE Syndrome so he is deaf and visually impaired with other medical issues.  My other son has ADD and is medication free.  I found some fantastic vitamins and supplements with a high absorption rate that really work for him.  And, my daughter is absolutely fantastic.  They are 12, 10, and 7.

 

I do have the emotional support of wonderful parents who come visit from California to where I live in New Mexico.  It is a 13 hour drive for them, but they make it every few months or so, and it really is a good feeling having them around.  You have to have a good support system and they are top on the list.  I even get along great with my ex-mother-in-law.

 

I am much happier being single than in the marriage I had and I don't miss it.  Not at all. Dr. Phil is right about having to earn your way out.  I left  after 13 years with no regrets and no anger.  Only a desire to create new dreams.  I am finally getting to do those things I want to do, such as raise my kids in a secure, loving home, go back to school (currently on hold), and run my own business from home.  Life couldn't be better.  Oh, sure there are hard times, but I just weather those and move on -- always remembering my new dreams!
