Family Forum / Parenting / Single Parents / August 2006single dads... with custody?!
So am I alone? Am I peerless? I'm a newly single dad with 2 special needs boys (I fought for and won custody... but the judge deemed $45 / week "fair" child support... c'est la vie). Are there any support groups for such societal freaks as myself? > So am I alone? nope > Am I peerless? tricky... I'll pass on that one > I'm a newly single dad with 2 special needs boys (I fought for and won > custody... Congratulations... lucky you! > but the judge deemed $45 / week "fair" child support... c'est la vie). waddya want?... money?... or your kids? (I think your ahead of the game now...dont you?) > Are there any support groups for such societal freaks as myself? you found it! z ... societal freaks?... penny a dozen here... ... aww sh*t, did I just say that out loud? ... Nice to know there are others. Yeah, I wanted my boys of course, but I guess still a bit bitter about the whole thing... But in any case, is this like a tight group, or do people come and go? >> So am I alone? > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > ... aww sh*t, did I just say that out loud? ... > Nice to know there are others. > > Yeah, I wanted my boys of course, but I guess still a bit bitter about the > whole thing...

Well, those who fail Initiation go, those who pass stay. :P Other than that, it *seems* to be the same old people over the years. Some come, some go, some disappear for a while and then come back again. It's pretty much whatever life allows. Sometimes it's hopping here, other times, as dead as can be. The trend seems to be that people catch up when they have free time (and as a parent, single or not, does 'free time' really exist that often??) ;) It's basically the same people around for ages, you get the odd person who pops in and goes, the odd troll or bit of spam but those who are posting on a regular basis are about as common as those in and out people - and those people come out of nowhere if they're more of the lurking type, offer their 2¢ and then go back to lurking mode. >>> So am I alone? >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> >> ... aww sh*t, did I just say that out loud? ... > > Nice to know there are others. > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > people come out of nowhere if they're more of the lurking type, offer their > 2¢ and then go back to lurking mode.

Are there any support groups for such > societal freaks as myself? Your not alone , there are more freeks just like you here. I'm not a freek like you but rather a freek like me, and I think I am freekier than you ...........but anyway be glad you get the 45/wk ! some get less or even no help at all. I am Bev, single, but not single, but not married, I have a girlfriend, that is here when she is not working, I think I saw her for a moment last week though ! My children are all almost 19 years old and above. My oldest step child is like 30 something LOL! I spend a lot of time caring for my grandchildren now that range from soon to be 15 to still in the womb ! I just turned 40 for the 5th time and have the body of an 80 year old.(sexy picture) Parts are falling off left and right, thats where the grandkids come in handy they pick em up for me so I dont lose any. I am currently working with the doctors to rebuild. Life is what it is , at first I thought how nice it would be once my youngest turned 18 and was on her way out into the big exciting world. Hmmmmmm no one told me just because the first one flew 3000 miles away shortly after she turned 18 meant the last one would follow ! LOL! I miss her , she comes to visit once a year, she says that a few weeks back home cures her homesickness.........,grinning now cause I know what she means! Anyway the younger one is borderline personality , she has a 21/2 yr old whos favorite quote now that her Auntie from California was here is "WHATEVER!" and another on the way, they live with me. It looks like a long haul from here ! I sometimes participate, mostly read, I most enjoy the adult interaction that sometimes happens here, sometimes good for a laugh and a moment away from the stress.The advice is effective. Welcome to the twilight zone.......... > Your not alone , Bev truly knows better.......... the "you're" she should have used is right here<----------- My excuse follows.......... See it is like this, My 2 1/2 year old grand daughter snuggled up in my bed last night with me. I, unaware that she was not wearing a pull up fell back to sleep, to wake up at about 4:30 this fine a.m. soaked in urine ! woo hoo !!! yay!!!!!! what a way to start yer day!!!!!!! I logged on to the group and decided to post before the coffee was made........ see ? I have a perfectly good, legitimate excuse! What is better yet is the fact that my grand daughter is testifying that her baby doll that is also soaked , is the one that wet my bed! So it is almost an hour and a half later now...I have had some coffee, J bit her finger eating a piece of cheese, there is a small chance we could and should try and go back to sleep, cause the 3 year old grandson is due to arrive at 8:30 a.m. and that my friends is when the real fun begins! |
