Hi Susan...it seems as if you have made the best of a less-than-ideal situation! That is inspiring. I never imagined divorce being on my life path either.
Thanks Ron, I can't imagine not being able to see my kids. It would kill me. I'm glad you were able to work it out with your ex. I am hoping for the best where our kids are concerned. I will have custody since he works out of town 4 days a week, but…
We are now getting others from VA on the I-Heart site!... I recently started a group to get the word out... and any EAST coaster would be welcome to join as well!
Thanks for the tips. I will have custody of the kids since my husband works out of town 4 days a week. Figuring out all of the finer points of joint child rearing will be challenging I'm sure.

Hi there -- found this site with a checklist -- seems to be a good start anyway.
Also, a few friends of mine have sticky issues with dates (especially holidays) and times of transferring children. Games (baseball, etc) are a real sticking point tha…
I have an appointment with my attorney on Thursday and I am trying to make up a list about specific things I need to know before the separation. We met once back in November when all of this stuff first started, but that was more of a general meetin…
I'm sure my story isn't orginal. I am actually not even a single parent yet, but am heading that direction. Here's the short version: About a year ago I just started getting a weird "vibe" for lack of a better word. I have been with my husband for 1…
Not quite single yet...but I would imagine the best thing is not wondering what my ex is up to anymore.
I'm here for:
Friends, Networking
What are your hobbies and interests?
I have two active kids...who has time for hobbies? I love watching my kids participate in their different sports. I also enjoy getting into a really great book or movie.
What type of music do you like?
Different types, I'm not picky
