I sometims think my oldest son Brad is my 'forgotten child.' By that I mean he is perhaps the easiest of the children to take care of. He doesn't need much motivation to do well in school. He isn't a discipline problem. He doesn't get caught up in all the boy/girl drama that can happen with an 11 year old. He's just a good child. My youngest son seldom stops talking, my st...

When Your Body Is No Longer a Factory of Life
Saturday, November 7, 2009
A friend of mine had a baby this week. I saw him yesterday. I held him. It was then that I realized that I have made a big mistake by never having another child with Charlie. He never wanted them and now I'm too old.
I'm too old. That statement really hits hard because I don't want to believe that I should not make life anymore. I'm just to old, too bi polar and too involved ...

I haven't been on here in quite a while again; I'm facing some new challenges now. When I got divorced, I got left with a mountain of credit card and loan debt. I tried to stay on top of it the best I could, but I ended up underneath it. Long story short, I'm now having credit card companies sue me. I had to go to court this past Weds to answer for an unp...1 Comment -

I made an appointment to see a psychiatrist. I hope I get on some meds that HELP! Every other med I took made me feel like I was trippin' or really sick and wired. I could really go for some psycho-therapy. Why the hell am I so hung up on my weight? When I was 12 this boy in the bus called me FAT ASS. That sucked. I was chubby and tall- double whammy. Oh well, I just want to be healthy. But i... -

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.
