Hi, I am 30 years old and a single parent of two wonderful children my son is 7 and will be 8 in August. My daughter just turn 2 this April. My ex husband took his life a year ago this May. It has been a rough road and a scary one at it. There has been so many times that I was scared I was doing the wrong thing.
When I found DS a lot of those fears went away. I wanted to start a group to try to help other single parents. Please feel free to drop me a line or two. I might not have the right answers but I have found that I have strong shoulders so please lean on them any time you need to.

  That is very thoughtful of you :) I am due to become a single parent in June, once my son is born. The prospect is terrifying, and it never occurred to me my life would end up this way. But I trust that this is the way it's meant to be fore now, and one day I will hopefully meet a good man who loves me and my son, and my future pregnancies will be in happier circumstances :)

  Hi, I'm 37 and pregnant with my 1st child. I pretty much put myself in this position so I will have to face what I have coming to me. I've wanted a child for the longest! I wanted to do things the right way, like get married and then start a family, but things just didn't work out that way for me. I've never been married. Anyway, a very good friend of mine who I've been seeing for the last 6 years offered to get me pregnant. I knew from the start that he would not be in my child's life full time, but he always said he would be there for me no matter what. Well that all changed the day I called him and told him I was pregnant. He now wants nothing to do with me or the baby. He won't even sign the birth certificate, says he doesn't want any paper trail that leads back to him. That's okay though. I'm a very strong and independent woman and I will give my child everything he needs. I know it will be hard, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure my child lives a very happy and successful life. He will be well loved. Anyway, that's my story. Amy, I'm so sorry for your loss and I agree with you, this site has some amazing people! Thanks for starting this group.
