Trinity, I know it's different for you because you lost something worth having, and i feel I escaped from something, so we are viewing single parenthood totally differently. I would worry that a woman like you who knows what a good marriage is wouldn't be able to relate to me... so don't you worry about us not welcoming you.
I wish I knew what a good marriage was.
I find the lone parents board quite depressing too if I'm honest, but then, we don't all experience all of the problems mentioned here. I get no maintenance, but I'm not chasing it, so it's not an ongoing problem hanging over me iyswim. I had legal issues with my x threatening to have me charged with abduction, but luckily that's all behind me now.
The only thing now, the only issue is moving on and getting on with it. I'm not looking to date. Couldn't face trying to find somebody to date never mind the actual dating.
OP, glad you came back too. I was upset to think that somebody was mocking us, so I'm glad I understood wrong.
this board can be sad, but then, if you read the relationships board, you might think that there's no point being in a relationship, and I don't suppose that is a fair analysis...
