You have already done all of the right things. You are giving the other people in your daughter's life the chance to show their love for her (even if it is different from how you do it), you are improving yourself academically to increase your job o…
Big sigh.....thank you for sharing, everyone! I, for some reason, was feeling alone with this. I know that I've heard the stories of the dad ditching out but couldn't apply it to my situation. Someone asked why I don't talk to him about taking our b…
I love this stuff! I have two boys. One was 7 when we divorced and the other 1. My little guy likes to find my razor and shave his legs. That was the first time that it really hit me that the baby will miss out on some of those boy basics. I'm super…
Why do you feel a need to provide cute qoutes about everything? Don't leave him out of our kids documentation of his live.... you will pay for it later. And, it's really just taking things out on your kid.
How about simple notations like - Dad or D…
I have one. It's one the inside of my ankle, just above my heel (cost extra to have it so low on my foot). My Ex and i eloped to Las Vegas when I was 18. Hours after getting married I was opening a bottle of Sobe. There used to be sayings and/or pic…
My ex-wife had made many (like 20+ frickin') photo albums while we were married (about 7 years). She was full board into it. I have about 15 in my closet. Anyway, it has been about two years since our seperation and she has seen the kids about 4 or…
not sure what you meant by "mental illness"...if that is the reason he's not taking the 20 month old. but i know my baby's dad wasn't interested in her nearly as much as "his other kids"...mostly because she's not old enough or big enough to be FUN.…
We're facing our sons first birthday since the divorce (he'll be 8). I originally though that I'd like all of the holidays and big days to be celebrated together. Then my mom pointed out that one thing he found as an up side to the divorce was havin…
When I married my ex-husband he was going through heroic lengths to win his legal custody of his son. He won and so I thought that when we decided that it was time for us to have our own child that everything would be hunky dory. He checked out of t…
Congratulations! It is such a relief when it's finalized. I have full custody of my two boys and am so grateful for it! Nice job with getting them to school! I'm a teacher and there seems to be an idea that, especially elementary school, that being…
You can do "goodbye" counseling that is meant for helping couples to come to terms with and/or bring a marriage to a close. Instead of focusing on continuing the marriage the counseling guides each person in the process of dissolving the marriage. A…
Wendee, I love your reply.
I have albums for my kids, with pics of their dad. He left when my oldest was almost 4 and my youngest was 20 months old. I want them to remember him for being the fun sweet man he was. They have no contact with him now, and when they do see him aga…
Wow that has to be seriously hard! I don't understand, how can he spend time with one and show no interest in the other. I guess New Mental Illness sums that up. Wow, I'm speechless.
I eloped with my X to Las Vegas when I was 18. It was crazy awesome but I am looking forward to having a traditional wedding when it's time. Huge dress, lots and lots of people, wedding pictures, the whole deal!
I like knowing names too! I'm Susan and my boys are Marcus (7yrs) and Autzen (20months).

I've got five boys, and my youngest two are 6 and 8. There are all kinds of amazing places in Portland to explore the outdoors. If you're in the Beaverton area, I highly recommend the Tualatin Hills Nature Park. I take my kids through there a couple times a week during the summer. It's exquisite.
Nice to meet you, and welcome again to iHeart! :)
