Hi There!

I have been divorced for almost 9 months now. I am a single mom 36 with 2 boys (working mom too) I feel your pain :)

It's a rough adjustment, but eventually you cope.

hi. i am new to lj and single momhood for about two weeks as well. and my daughter is 3 in january. though i am older (36) our lives seem similar right now. because i was the one to leave .. i didn't expect the transition to be so difficult as well (though yes, we've both known for a long time that it wouldn't work). so sad. i guess when you break-up with someone after having a child with them the family dream is killed ... not just your sex life :).
i worry when i go to bed about protecting my little girl if anything was to happen (intruder or such).
though i haven't felt lonely yet! still happy to be free. but yes, i know the lonliness will come.
i wish you the best of luck ... and though i don't quite know how LJ works ... i'm figuring that you can write me if you need to talk one on one.
take care

Hey! I too am new to LJ and fairly new to divorce/seperation. I have 2 daughters, one is 4 the other 5, and am now in the middle of a nasty custody battle. I am 27 and live in the Dallas TX area. I know how hard it is too, and it feels so good to find others that can relate to the pain and difficult tasks that come with being a single mom. I know with everything going on in my life right now support is much needed and appreciated. I hate that my girls are old enough to see the crap that their father is putting me through, even though I feel that I protect them from most of it. Anytime you need to talk or vent let me know! I am going to add you as a friend and I hope you do the same.

Same Situation... angeleyesash February 24 2007, 02:20:17 UTC

I'm 26 years old and I have a two year old daughter. I'm in the process of getting divorced. Its very difficult. I'm so glad to have seen your post. Its nice to know that there are other people going through what i'm going through. I'm a stay at home mom and that'll have to change after the divorce. So i know exactly what your talking about. You start to have all these insecurities. All my friends are married and have or are having their babies now. They don't understand what i'm going through. They don't even know what to say to me. Keep in touch, its nice to have someone to talk to in a similar situation.
