I am a single mom for 4 years now with 1 9yr old boy the love of my life. It's not easy being a single mom

and I think it's worse living with someone and trying to raise your child. I don't get any support on a regular basis and my ex is always behind with what he does owe me. It is not court ordered and I can't bring myself to do this I am managing on my own fairly. The only thing court ordered is 1/2 our sons expenses

which I have to keep track of and wait on him to give me money for expenses. This is a joke. 

 Hello I am from Oregon, (Central Oregon) I'm so badly In Need of conversation ,  I Take care of my only Grandson on a daily bases , I also am raising a 13 year old son, I'm 49 and feel like Im at the END of my Rope..Some days I Feel I don't want to be this trap I have put my-self in any-longer!

 Hi there, i just wanted to say that having two small kidz myself it is very difficult to find the time to get out and find friends who are in the same position as you are and are open to finding new friends.  I have found that using mommy finding websites are a real plus.  Sites like www.mumsfriends.com or www.babyfit.com  They literally get you in touch with other mothers in your area or around the world.  I have made more friends here on these websites and around the world then i could have ever done.  Im even planning on visiting one of the mothers accross the waters on a holiday.  I hope this helped as i know how tough it is to be a mother never mind a single mother

I am a 34 year old women that is in a very nasty custody case with my exhusband. I'm really afraid that I am going to lose.   I am looking for other women who are in the same situation or have already lost custody to an ex husband to get some suggestions on how to handle this, what to do if I do lose, how to keep my life from feeling empty and meaningless if I lose.  I've already lost temporary custody of my son and he has been gone for 7 months.  I don't know how to keep going on without him.  Anyone out there who would like to chat, please email mcron7@comcast.net

I sent you an email, I too am a mother who is living without my children. My boys were old enough to decide who to live with.  My ex makes way more money than I do and my children decided to take the easy road. I use to beat myself up saying ... WHAT IF?  I made the mistake of letting the boys go visit their Dad for Thanksgiving.  My  ex  mother in law now takes care of them more then my  ex .....   she is sick now and is having a hard time,  I soon came to realize that the only reason he "baught" them is so he did not have to pay child support.   I  was hoping he would be the Dad he never was to them. Some things never  change  i guess.   I have since started my own business,  if anything it has made me a stronger woman.

Now my youngest is wanting to come back to me. It is hard to deal with the kids being gone, especially when you have given them your heart and soul.  It gets better, it just takes time. If you lose you need to surround yourself with great friends who can be there for you. I can tell you it will be the heardest time you will EVER go through. Just dont shut down, like I did for months. that is not good.

Your son will come back to you. Boys love their Mom!
