Hellobee Boards

@MsMamaBear: I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you! You can do it!
@runsyellowlites: was for a while too. She might be a good sounding board for you since she's been there.

@MsMamaBear: I am so sorry you are going through this! thinking of you and your DD.

@MsMamaBear: i'm so sorry you're going through this... we're here for you, especially during this difficult time!

@MsMamaBear: (((HUGS))) to you mama! Good for you for standing up for yourself and your LO. Whenever you need us, we're all here for you!

I'm married, but I do feel sort of like a single parents at times. My DH helps when he can, but pretty much all responsibility for our LO falls on me right now because he is severely depressed. However, he does help pay the bills and he helps around the house to some extent. Being a single parent without any additional financial support would be really difficult. One of my best friends is in that situation and I don't know how she does it.

@regberadaisy: @BabyBoecksMom: @autumnlove: @shopaholic: @Mrs. High Heels: @prettylizy: @FutureMrsMcK: @plantains: Wow, thanks ladies. Y'all got me teary over here. I haven't told many people outside of close friends and family, so it's nice to hear people give support. I'm dealing with it well, and it's nice to know people are thinking about us. We'll make it through this little bump.

@runsyellowlites: Thanks! I have family support and my friends are checking in on us and making sure I get time out of the house, so it's going ok. She is adjusting well, I just hope he does like he says he will with visits.

@MsMamaBear: That's good to know! I hope so too! I know that on his own G's bio-dad would've never really been in his life. I facilitated all their visitation for years & now really regret it b/c I just couldn't keep it up and now G is old enough so know his dad & know he chooses to not see him. I know every situation is different though & I really truly hope yours turns out different! In the end I know that G can never blame me & is well aware why he doesn't see his dad. It's tough, but it is manageable & I hope that one day you'll have another DH that can love you & your lo like you both deserve... they *do* exist.

@runsyellowlites: Thank you. Hopefully I don't have to set up all the visits. I'm praying there is a good man in my future. I'm sure I didn't go through all this just to end up being alone. I know the prefect for me man is waiting for me.

@rattles: I'm in awe of myself.LOL It's only been 3 weeks, but it's been like a lifetime.

@msmamabear, I'm so sorry you're finding yourself in the situation you're in. Kudos for not putting up with that and keeping your DD in that situation. I hope you guys can adjust well this summer!

I classify myself as a solo mom, because I still have the help of DH's income even though I only see him 5-6 days out of the month. It is definitely exhausting a lot of the time, but we have a good quality of life because of the benefit of our two incomes. Much love to all the single mamas! It's not easy!
