I don't know if I have time for the 'right guy' or any guy for that matter. In between working full time, raising two sons, squeezing in some exercise and coping with medical issues there is no time left. AND, after reading all of the posts here, I don't even have it very hard.
Hang in there all of you, you're doing a great job.

| You're not alone... I fear that too, never finding the "right' guy!

PRAY. (Psalm 22:8) "He trusts in the LORD; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him." My husband and I divorced when I was pregnant and he didn't want his son for his weekends until his girlfriend moved in with him. The only thing that gets me though those weekends is trusting in Lord that He will protect my son since I cannot.
On the flip side, have you spoken with your attorney? If you have documents that say that he is entitled to visitation every other weekend, you will have a hard time denying him that right. You would have to prove that he is an unfit parent. Speak to your attorney to find out what you can do. Best wishes. It is difficult, but you are the only one who can protect your child.
Don't forget to pray. I will pray for you as well.

| Hi. I'm a single mom of an amazing 4 1/2 yr old boy. It has been me and him since day one but now his dad is trying to get unsupervised visitation, which the very idea is causing me more stress than I can begin to express. And since I have trouble finding the time and energy to exercise I don't have a very good outlet for the stress. Anyone have some great words of advice for me?

| Hi there. I am also a single mom. I have a dd 15yo. It's always been her and me. It's very tough sometimes but as I have family close, I always have support when needed. I work full-time outside of the home and it seems "full-time" inside the home, but don't we all :-)

| Hi guys. I'm about to be a single mom (officially, technically speaking I have been for some time now). I have 3 kids, ages 9, 5 and 2. I'm taking 16 hours of classes so between family things and school my time is full! Luckily I have family nearby who are able and willing to help out when I need it--otherwise I don't know what I'd do. I'm hoping to figure out a way to balance exercise with the rest of my life, and looking forward to teaching my kids how to eat right and be healthy.

| Im a single mom from IL.. My son has Cerebral palsy, so it's pretty much the equivelent of having two kids. For the most part I am glad to be a single parent, but other times I really wish I had someone to rely on when I'm too tired to drive my son all over the place for all of his therapies.

| I'm the single mom of a beautiful little girl (she turns 3 10/02) but I do have a boyfriend, we've been dating 4 months now. I want to lose weight, but it is hard because I go to school, live oncampus, and don't work. My boyfriend is back home (1 hour away) and tries to help with the food money, but he has all of his own seperate bills too and helps his dad. I'm always here to listen if u need to talk.

I am a single mom to two wonderful daughters. They are 9 and 6. I haven't purposely not dated but am in no way looking for someone. I was in a somewhat long distance relationship for awhile but that ran its course. I found out about this site from a friend who has lost about 100 pounds. I am ready to take the weight off and leave it off.
It is so good to find a support group for single moms because it sometimes becomes so hard and some people don't understand. This is my first day on Spark People so I am ready for this journey!

I am a single mom who got divorced when my daughter was 2. She doesn't remember us together and since he's been with his present wife since him and I have been divorced...she just sees our situation as normal. I do not introduce Isabelle to my significant others or men I date. I have dated a guy for almost 2 years and he has spent maybe 5 hours total with her.
I think that keeping her and my love life separate has worked for me.

| My ex and I divorced 4 years ago, when I was pregnant. I have decided to wait until my son is out of the house and living on his own before I start dating. It is very difficult, but I cannot imagine putting either one of us through that again.

| DONZYDOODAA, be sure its the "right" man. I've been a divorce dmom for about 6 yrs now and I would tell you to stay away form the single dads. Single dads can be troublesome - remember they're divorced for a reason! LOL my best luck has been with guys who are not fathers and desperately want to be dads. Widowers are sometimes good if enough time has passed.

I am a military single mother of 2 girls ages 10 and 4 months.
As of now, I am raising them by myself, but God is giving me strength to be focused and strong.

I'm a single mummy to a gorgeous little 1 year old princess.
I have raised her by myself since birth and i plan on keeping it that way for a little while yet.
She's a dream though, so happy all the time, sleeps as soon as I put her to bed, and giggles like crazy all day.
But I get so lonely and wish that I had someone to share all these special moments with.
For now I'm focusing on fixing my life, then I'll be out on the prowl.......
Maybe a single daddy.........

| I'm a single mother of a 3 year-old little boy, I work full time and I'm currently in school!! I need all the help I can get.

| I am a single mom now. It took me a while to realize, but it was the best move I ever made. Even though we get no help at all from him. I take each day at a time and try my best. It is really tough seeing all the ones I love getting married. Sometimes I feel down thinking that I will never find the right guy for me. I guess I'll take that one day at a time as well.

| I recently remarried, but was a single mom for about 4 years after divorcing my ex. My kids were 3 & 6 when we separated. The best thing I ever did was join a single mothers support group. I made some good friends & it was nice to know there were others dealing with the same things I was. Good Luck to all of you!

| I'm a single mom too, and i am almost done. My youngest is 17, my oldest is 26 my other two are 18 and 24. My oldest two are out of the house and living on their own now the oldest is married and expecting his first child in March. Number three will be leaving for college in about a week. The college he is going to is on the quarter system. It is not easy, especially when you do not get the financial support that you should. The kids always need something, clothes, school supplies.....It really drains me sometimes.

hi,
I'm a single mom too...My first hubby passed away when my youngest was only 8. I had 4 children and raising them was real hard, but I managed. We did Scouts, CAP, soccer, baseball. We just kept busy.
I remarried about 5 years later and adopted his 4 children (yep now I have 8 kids). After 18 months we decided this just was NOT working out and he left.. Guess who ended up with his 4 kids!??
SO I have raised 8 kids and still have his 2 youngest girls at home. I am homeschooling them.
On top of this, I now have 7 grand children from the oldest 3. And I am still involved in CAP and Scouting. I also take the 2 youngest girls geocaching and they really enjoy that! (www.geocaching.com) It's like treasure hunting...

Cant wait. i get to start the Advocating again and hope they will listen this year to me. Rori
