Hi This is a first for me. I am a newly single mum of a three year old and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to start my long road of being a single parent hi solo. you're going to be ok. I don't have any concrete advice, since i'm not sure what you need, what you want, where you are in the process... all i can say is, take things in small chunks, don't worry about where you're going to be ten years from now. Concentrate on what you need to get done every day, and eventually you'll be able to deal with the bigger picture. I got on an airplane with four suitcases, one toddler, and $400 -- and started all over. Christina http://solomother.com > Hi > This is a first for me.

In many states, taking the child away from a relationship with the other parent is generally frowned upon unless there is clear and substantiated abuse (like a conviction). > Christina > http://solomother.com [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to start my long road of >> being a single parent Moon shyne, thanks for the tip. I wasn't writing about moving away as a recommendation for anyone else. I was writing about my experience, living in the United Arab Emirates with my husband when our marriage fell apart. I was writing to say that we are capable of remarkable things when we have to be.I was writing to say that if I can start all over, and i mean ALL over, so can anyone else, cause I'm not some superhero. I'm just a woman with a kid. I brought my child back to the US because it's the best thing for him and for me as his primary caregiver. I left with my husband's consent and knowledge.

We know - there are large numbers of us who had to start over with nothing. I just didn't want to see anyone pushing the idea of packing up, and taking the kid and just running off - there are already too many children who (for whatever the reasons) are not having a full, meaning relationship with both their mother AND their father. I don't want to promote the idea of putting more children in that group. I'm just a woman with a kid.

I'm curious - how do you know that removing your child from a relationship with his father, and the country where apparently he was born, is "the best thing for him"? You got some handbook that the rest of us missed? > Christina >> > hi solo. you're going to be ok.

I am a newly single mum of a three year old and > I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to start my long road of > being a single parent Getting up in the morning, brushing your teeth and making a pot of coffee works pretty well. As soon as you stop seeing being a single parent as something different from being a parent, you'll probably find it easier. You've been a mom for 3 years (unless he/she just showed up on your doorstep last night) - have you forgotten how to be a parent? hello my names james and i like to say if i may . that you are to nice to be single. im a single male from wis, no kid but i kmow its got to be tuff.casue you want to do whats right for your child and or chilfen at the same time you want to bal.spme kind of really realtionship. so hing in there you,ll be alright . becuase with the Blessing of the Lord... you are never alonle and you will get thue your diffcult time . ig you every need someone to chat with i,ll be here for you , James Thanks James That really means alot.

It sure is scary isn't it? Looks like Kate and Christina have just the right pep talks for this type of thing. *smiles* I know it wasn't meant for me, but Thanks for asking and thanks to them for answering with such insight. Good Luck to us All >Hi >This is a first for me. I am a newly single mum of a three year old and >I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to start my long road of >being a single parent |
