Diane- if there is one thing I learned through the whole process was NO MATTER WHAT, the safety of my children comes first. Sounds like he had plenty of opportunities to step up to the plate and yes, he could have ACTUALLY read the divorce agreement…

Coming Back.....
Wow. I found iheart when my ex and I first split up in May 2008. I just realized it has been awhile since I have spent some time here. When I was on before they were just breaking 300 members. HOLY CRAP!
I moved, the girls started school, my time was taken up in blogging and twittering, and starting an Etsy shop and reading about 300 or so blogs weekly, of which many are written by you fantastic single parents. So I am bound and determined to spend some quality time here again, like I carve out… Continue

The Way We Describe Things
I was talking with the girls today in the car and had a startling revelation on how we communicate about things on a five and seven year old memory level. They don't know exactly what things are and who people are until you put into a relation they can associate with.
For example, my stepfather, whom we lived with all summer, was "the man who lives with other Grandmom" who was also given my most favorite nickname of all time "Grandaddy Long Legs" because the girls got up each morning and ran ou… Continue

Moved In!
Yeah! The girls and I are finally moved into our new home. It was a long summer. I cannot find my camera accessories to post any new pictures but will come soon.
Hope life is finding you all well.
I moved my blog, so my link has been updated. It's still in the works.

Little Limited
I'm a little limited for awhile as I am between houses. Settlement on the old house but the new house won't be ready for another 2-3 weeks, so stuck at Mom's with really slow dialup.
Hope everyone is good will pop in here and there.
Stay sane!

To Be So Loved
Ah to be so loved when you are newly separated and your ex has just gotten the papers.
You stay up until 2:30 a.m. listening to some tunes, packing the house and eating apples and cinnamon oatmeal because it's really hard to settle down to sleep and besides the kids are at their dad's.
Then you wake up at noon the next morning with the dog barking beside you and a pounding on the door. Grab the cell phone to see what time it is and see about eight missed calls from your family. Run downstairs… Continue

- Jen - for some reason, I couldn't find out how to email you but I have a question for you - I read some of your posts and it looks like you have some similar experience with exes. My question for you - ( I guess I need some validation) - My ex is/was involved in criminal activity, drugs, etc and in the midst of our divorce, I put in our divorce that he would not be able to have court ordered visits until our son is 13 (he's only 2 now). My ex had the divorce papers for 2 weeks before he signed them and he never read the divorce so I don't feel bad that he didn't take the time to read it. I had to do what I had to do to keep my son safe - I would have been a train wreck otherwise. I just wrote a discussion about this titled Safety Issues with the Ex. What do you think?

Paul said… - Hi Jen! Nice to hear from you again. I was reading a blog you wrote and understand entirely! I have been there as a father, My ex did not let me see my kids the first X-mas and new years because we had not gotten a custody agreement. But now after 4 yrs things have settled down a bit. I would like to tell you a story if you get the chance to chat sometime! You might think it relevant to your situation. But for now I wish you and your children well!

Hi Kim... I truly think that it's important to forgive. My husband died a year and a half after our divorce and I was able to forgive him and talk to him before he left. I think that was the key to my closure. On the other hand, his parents have don…
