Living the Single Mom Life

Posted by singlemom

It is not always easy being a single mom, but it is perfectly doable. I often see women leave one relationship for some reason, and within a month jump into a new one. This worries me.

I wonder, how can they know who they are, what they want. They haven’t had time to find out much about themselves.

We are different. When we have a person in our lives, we are different people ourselves than when we are alone.

I have spent time getting to know me. Concentrating on my relationship with my children. And learning what I want has been a wonderful experience. I am a whole other person than I was when I was in a relationship.

Just thinking about this lately…I have been watching my best friend go through a divorce. She and he are both in new relationships, but neither of them took the time to find out who they really are. It is a shame.

Said divorce is not going well. And I hate the custody battle. It looks like he will end up with primary residence over the child, even though he is showing that he shouldn’t have it.

\Yuck!

I will be writing a weekly article here for a while. Not sure how long, exactly. I will likely sometime throw in another post when something comes up.

The reasons for this is simple. I am building a support system for single moms, and I need to have time to implement and get used to it. I’m not sure how long this will take, but I will keep you all updated.

I also have other writing to do, some personal, some business. There is only one of me. I do not want to give up this blog, so a weekly post, longer than normal with updates, an article and such, will suffice until I get everything running smoothly.

Now, on to the updates:

My other blogs have been updated since my last post, as has my Bangor Single Moms Page. Here are the updates:

Hope you are all doing well. I am getting support groups set up on MySpace and FaceBook, and I am on Twitter @BangorSingleMom. No, you do not have to be from Bangor to follow me.

Please sound off here with any ideas for topics to be covered here, or on any of my other pages or blogs. Also, what would you like to see in an online support group? Please, let me know.

Have a nice week!
