you can't take responsibility for him being too stupid to read papers before signing them! lol. if he REALLY wants visitation, he can go to court and fight to change the visitation agreement. Until that happens, it can't really matter that much to...

I just feed her whatever I am cooking for me, so you introduce her to different kinds of food, and then if she makes a face you have to sneak it in the food. Like the veggies, put them in the marinara sauce, my daughter will eat baked salmon, pret...

It's going to get better. I have had so many similiarities with you it's crazy. My mom is a nurse as well and she has done the same thing you have - she finally got a job in an assisted living home. Not what she's used to, but hey, it's a job. I h...

Diane, you are so right in what you have done to protect your son. Sometimes as parents we have to choose between the lesser of two evils. I know this first hand. It breaks my heart that my daughter does not have her dad in her life, however, that...

You are totally right. My son has only seen his dad 3 times in the past year. My son has a bigger bond with my brother - he says "Bobby" all the time instead of Daddy. My brother's name is Bobby. It's sad but hey, I mean, I don't know what to do a...

Angel's right. My ex wouldn't respond to the divorce/custody papers, so I had the judge allow me to have his mother served in his stead (LOL). That's how he found out about the divorce and custody. He is 1200 miles away, and has no visitation with...

Hi Diane! Thank you for the encouragement, it's really appreciated. Your son is adorable. And I know what you mean about taking the kids out....going to WalMart is like a vacation, anything to get out of the house. It's been so hot here and the humidity makes it almost impossible to do anything fun outside, but we are making it. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel....I just need the patience for it to shine. I have a 2nd interview with a home health company set up next week so keep your fingers crossed. As for your ex and his 19 yr old......when he comes crying back to you because she is so immature and can't handle things.....tell him as a friend of mine says, " don't let the door knob hit you where the Goddess split you." I have to laugh everytime she says that.

Thanks again for the support! Hugs,
Susan

I hope you are having a great day! I'm sure we'll run into each other in the future soon... I go to lots of weekend things :)

Thanks Diane for the nice comment you left on my page!
I was in a spot very similar to yours a few years ago and the best thing I can tell you is: Look for the silver lining now, because there is one!
There is freedom in having so many possibilities at your disposal. Try to focus on those possibilities instead of the cheating husband...I know easier said than done, sometimes the emotional pain was so intense for me I thought I couldn't breathe another minute- but it faded over time and yours will too if you let it!
God bless you on your journey; may you soon see the many wonderful things that are in store for you!

Hi Diane, I'm so glad you found this site, I hope it helps with your decision to see that it really is ok to be a single parent. I am to the point where it's better than ok, it's great.

You're welcome, sweetheart. Cheating is rediculous. Let me know if you need anything!

Wow, Diane--what a neat thing to want to do. Would love for that to work out for you! We need more people to want to interact with and help steer the younger ones in the right direction!

So glad you found us Diane. Iheart is such a great place to be!


As for traveling, we're actually flying out to Hawaii in September to celebrate his 1st birthday. I would love to take him there (Philipines) someday - but with money being tight... it'll have to be later on. Maybe when C's bigger & can appreciate it!

How exciting for you though. LOL, I'd say you're a big leaguer ~ I'm nervous as it is to take a 1 year old on a plane for 5/6 hours let alone all the way to P.

Props to ya Momma!

Finally & Honestly over my Ex!

So my ex ws in town this weekend for our son's birthday. I dropped him off at the airport 4 hours early - that should give you an idea of how the weekend went.

I have to write these things down so I can look back on them and remember why I'm not with him.

He talked to his girlfriend (mistress who is now pregnant and lived in our house) and had the audacity to say "bye baby...I love you" Ugh! Then I glanced at his wallet when he was paying for something and noticed that there's a picture of the… Continue

This is how he "develops" his fatherly relationship?!

So my ex and our son have the same exact birthday (May3). For the past few months, he had told me that he will promise that he and our son will spend their bday's together. So he told me he would come to Portland from Texas and stay for about 2 weeks. Then he said maybe 1 week. Then last week he told me he would stay for 4 days. Now yesterday, after having a text argument with his idiotic 19 year old pregnant mistress (we are both 34), he told me he's only staying from Sunday to Monday. He has s… Continue

Head Games!

My ex is using major head games with me and his 19 year old pregnant mistress/girlfriend. I'm so sick of it but I know I need to stop playing the games as well - I wish I could get it through my thick skull to stop listening to him, texting both of them, etc. He tells me things that he's going to get me back then other times he says he can't stand me. TOday I found out that his girlfriend uses his phone to text me things. Or he will show her the texts that I send. He cheated on me with her and h… Continue

Officially Divorced!

I am officially divorced as of 2 weeks ago. On top of that it was my birthday month! Ugh. On top of all of that, my 35 year old ex and his wonderful 18 year old mistress have moved to Texas. She thinks he won't cheat on her - Ahh to be young again! NOT! He has started the "I'm not going to give you all of the child support" thing now that I'm not all Nicey-nice with him. I'm so sick of it all. He thinks I'm obsessed with him and that makes me furious. Yes, I loved him with all my heart. Yes, I w… Continue

My husband & his mistress moved to Texas

I'm still in the stage where I'm like " what the f just happened?" I mean, yes, I did just torture myself and went onto Myspace where I saw pictures of my soon to be ex husband and his mistress - just to let you know he's 34 and she just turned 19 - Match made in heaven! And we just had our first son. Good riddance! I feel like breaking down right now. It's not fair - that's what I want to yell at the top of my lungs! But the good thing is that I'm beginning to believe that it's the best that I'… Continue

Not divorce yet. But i did get to meet two little angels. One is a dear lady who is in the same boat as me. But she has more money that I do. She referred me to a great lawyer. Win or lose I am happy. I have given the toad one last 48 hr time to w...

I agree 100% with you. I find it really hard to forgive my son's father for everything he has ever done to him. He never apologized. I want to forgive him and when I look at him I try to act like everything's fine (for the sake of my son) but I ca...
