Best thing about being a Single P...
Knowing that my baby is always in good hands. :-)
I'm here for:
Friends, Testing the Waters as a New Single
What are your hobbies and interests?
Being a mom, figuring out how to be something OTHER than a mom (like, for instance, MYSELF!). I am a sports NUT, and plan to immerse my poor son in every sport available to appease his nutty mama.
About Me:
How bad do I HATE filling this part out? (I'll answer that for you. I HATE IT.)

I'm new to the single mama life, almost a year into my journey. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd find myself in this position. Where's that damn white picket fence that I was supposed to have??

After finally picking up my own pieces from a disastrous relationship, I am finally at the point where I'm ready to LIVE again, and look out, because I'm ready! But there IS one problem...I've never been ME and been a MOM at the same time. My son will be 4 in December, and he is my life. I haven't yet figured out how to separate HIS life from MINE. I know it needs to be done, for BOTH OF US, but right at this moment, I'm a work in progress.

I'm fun! Everybody tells me so. :-)

I love to laugh, I'm an AVID sports fan, and I love to hang out with friends (most of whom have kids around the same age as mine), and I'm basically just enjoying being a part of society again after taking a mental hiatus.

My son was four in July, you and I are close in age, I'm at about the same stage of "picking up the pieces" as you are, and your name is Dana. What's not to like about all that? :-)

Good to have you here! I'm new, too. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I'm enjoying it. It's so good to have a community like this.

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…
