Tonight I miss him, but I still dont want to contact him. I am making a lot of progress in that area. I feel good for respecting his space and for also not putting myself through the torture of desperately needing someone who doesnt care. I went to dinner and a movie with a friend and my son - Tyler - loved the movie! He went nuts the whole time....probably because I actually felt good during the... -

I don't understand how any man could leave his wife when she is diagnosed with cancer. I feel like the last wight years of my life have been wasted with someone who was dishonest. If it wern't for my three beautiful children, I would think that it was all for nothing. I know they say that every person comes into your life for a reason, but what lesson was I supposed to learn?

Things started when my boyfriend wrote to me and told me that he got wrote up for disobeying orders. He had already gotten wrote up about a couple of months ago and was told that if he got in trouble in the next 90 days that he would be put in the hole for 30 days.

So, I guess its time for an update. I am so glad that it is Friday. We get to sleep in tomorrow if we want to. Kaylie has been having a hard time lately and her teacher is not very understanding of our circumstances and the emotions/uncertainty that comes with my diagnosis. She seriously needs to cut my daughter some slack and be more understanding. It is very aggravating.

Single Parenting Information
A single parent is a parent with one or more children, who is not living with the child[ren]'s other parent. The legal definition of single parenthood may vary according to local laws of nations or provinces. Single parenthood may occur as a result of loss (death, separation, divorce, abandonment by one parent), or by choice (single parent adoption, donor insemination, egg donor/surrogate motherhood, choosing to carry to term an unexpected pregnancy and raise the child on one's own).
Research about the welfare of children in single parent families varies. Many factors influence the outcome of how children fare: parent's age, education level, and occupation, family income, family's support network from friends and extended family members (including the absent parent if available).
Today in the United States, being raised by a single parent is not uncommon. About three in ten children live in a single parent home. The most common type of single parent home is one with only a mother. However, single father homes are the fastest growing type of family situation; the amount of single fathers has grown by 60% in the last ten years alone. This commonly relates to the courts increasing consideration of the stability and permanence of the father's situations.
