My ex husband has had a hard time moving on since we got divorced 15 months ago. In his defense, there were a few months around Christmas that I gave him the wrong idea.

Sometimes I read through other peoples blogs and it reminds me of how far I've come and I how I'm not quite where I want to be. I remember when I first became a single mom.

After a month and a half of this the supervisor went to the court and said he was ready to see them unsupervised. He was around through the holidays and we w… Continue

This site is filled with beautiful people and stories and I am glad I found it. It raises my spirits and makes me feel less alone to know that I am not the only one fighting the good fight.

All because we care and love enough to make that happen. Think about how strong and amazing you are through the hard times and embrace the good. We truly are… Continue
