I don't judge you. Shit happens. To EVERYONE. My mom has been married 4 times, but I don't think that makes her a bad person at all. Bad decision maker, maybe, but mainly a person who tries so hard to find the GOOD that sometimes the BAD sneaks up...
Hey girl! This was a great writing! You and I have a LOT in common. I'm at the same point you are (except that I have only one kid). But our acceptance is in the same spot. I've been through too much, but have become a stronger person because of i...
I took online classes with my kids and worked... I didn't have childcare for the time when I was in school and I still managed to do it. It's hard but it's not impossible. The thing about online classes vs. physically going to class is that you re...
I agree with what the others posted. It's all about appearances. I also used to get jealous on Facebook when I saw how happy everyone seemed (and I stress SEEMED) to be... One day this girl who I went to highschool with (who is "happily" married a...

I'm Back
As I look around today I reflect on things that I’ve been through, where I’m at, and most importantly where I’m going.
I have been through so much. I often feel like I’ve lived a life of someone twice my age. I have witnessed pain so deep yet somehow it has made me stronger. I have seen things that I pray my children will never witness. People ask me how I do it and I always say “I don’t have a choice.” The truth of the matter is I do have a choice and this is what I chose.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Isn't that what they say???
So I haven't been on here for awhile because I decided to get back with my ex. After being the sole provider (for months) he got a job and after his first day of work told me he fell out of love with me a long time ago and left. What a complete slap in the face.

At Least He's Happy Now
I wish I could stop crying already. I don't know what else to do right now so I figured I would just write out my feelings and maybe it will help in some way.
I just got another mean and nasty email from the ex calling me every name in the book and letting me know that he has found someone better. That I am dead to him. I wish I could lie and say that it doesn't hurt me to the core. But I'm tired of pretending that I'm ok. I'm not. I'm falling apart every day.
I thought it would get easier but i… Continue

My First Blog/Introduction
I'm new to all of this and just wanted to blog about my current situation for a minute. I'm a single mama of 3 and have made a lot of life changes in the past couple of months. I recently moved and feel that while I wanted to get away from my previous situation, I think I have sort of isolated myself a little too much. I feel like I don't have a life besides kids and work anymore. I guess that's kind of to be expected when you are raising 3 kids alone but still...

Faith said… - It's ironic you say I sound like I have a good head on my shoulders~ only 3 months ago I couldn't pull myself out of bed in the morning, quit my job, and sat home and pretty much just cried for 2 months, feeling like I was in a hole I would never get out of. The worst depression I have ever had. It is only within the past 2 weeks or so that I have been functional again. It's so, so hard working, having kids full time (plus you are in school too!?!? I dunno how you do it!)...when you add an emotionally abusive adult to the equation- it's all you can do to keep from falling apart. It will get better! Good call on doing everything through his mother. I hope she is more sensible than he is. And yeah, it takes a TON of willpower to not open those emails (if you can block them or auto-delete them, it's even better!) When someone treats you like that, it is almost like you feed off the negative emotion after a while, like you deserve it or something- at least that's how it was for me. It was like I craved it, seeked it out. How sick is that? But if you can distance yourself from it for even a little while, you start to see it for the sick, twisted nonsense that it is. Always remember- you deserve respect. To hell with anyone that doesn't give it to you!!

Paul said… - You are welcome Lesley, I can really relate. I use to sit here with no money, little work, 2 kids and I am seeing their Mom running around having the time of her life with boyfriend after boyfriend and I was jealous and bitter which is part of the process. People are petty, we are, the sooner we admit that the sooner one will rise above it and be a better person. Now my ex has no boyfriend, loser job and keeps dropping hints here and there about how she "misses" everyone and I laugh. I rose above and both the boys and I are better now and are better without her. This too will happen and your ex will absolutely flip when he sees you not suffering because of him, he will freak when he sees you excelling in spite of him and that right there is karma kiddo. Keep going, you will be fine.

Sillymama said… - Hi Lesley...thank you for the comment on my blog!! I hadn't been on in many weeks. Things are just so hectic. I guess you can SO relate!!! My soon-to-be-ex is now totally out of the picture, and doesn't even show up to see our 19 month old Luci. It is really sad. Found out he wasn't so depressed after all - well, unless you call a 19 year old that works at HOOTERS "depression" haha. So...I have been on my own for the most part. Am due in a few weeks, so my new little guy will be here soon !! I am mainly just concentrating on that!! I did meet a wonderful guy on a single site right before Christmas. He has given me the much needed attention and my children adore him. It is nice to have someone around that excited about the baby...kind of weird!!! :) I guess you just never know. I still cry....I still miss my "family", but I certainly don't miss the worrying, loneliness, and lies!!! There are many days that I feel like you that I have no life except my kids...and I am still able to be at home with them due to the military benefits - so being isolated is very easy for me to do. It has really been a struggle. Hang in there - I have learned that everything happens for a reason!!! If you want - check out my myspace - not sure if you have one. It is www.myspace.com/sillymama71 Thanks again for the comment!!
