Single Parenting Support Group
Today 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; 60% growth in the last ten years alone.
Hi, I'm mom to two little girls, they're 4 and 6. I've raised them physically alone for a long time because my husband has been deployed more of my 4 year olds life than he's been home. He came home this summer and has become someone completely different, I guess our family is another casualty of war. He left a few months ago out of nowhere and now has filed for divorce. So I'm on to a new chapter in life and am pretty scared. I'm working on legal paperwork and on being strong for my girls and trying to figure out what happens now. Looking forward to getting to know you all. God bless.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
