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.
After 13 years of marriage, running a business with my exhusband and raising a child that is now in second grade. I decided October of 2009 to go back to med school to finish up my degree for more income. We were not making enough in the business. Instead of working together on this, my husband decided to divorce me. I was behind him 100% when he started the business and now that I am trying to build my career, he did not like the idea at all. I feel like a failure as a wife and a mother. He is working 18-20 hours a day and wants my son full time and says that I am not a fit mother for my child. I have practically raised him on my own from the time he was born until 6 1/2 years of age. Now he wants to take him away from me permanently and then asks me to babysit him because of his work schedule. He gives me no money and kicked me out of the house. Can somebody help me please? I have failed.
You are definately moving in the right direction. I will keep you in my prayers....
I too, had a difficult, to say the least, breakup. Do whatever it takes to fight for fair custody, money and school...You are worth fighting for and so is your child !
No matter what happened in the past we can only change the future. Focus on that and treat yourself with love and respect especially when others don't. There is a lot of support for women out there...the women's advocacy center can and will help for free to help guide you to get what you need financially and emotionally to make what's Right happen.
Don't let some dick rule your life your child will thank you for it later!!!
I know I am in a similar boat and starting over with a 7yr old boy in the middle of no where going back to school and begging my ex for $, all the while he gave me herpes and warts and he's out screwing everything he can and won't tell his next victims...there should be laws against men who behave like this!
Try the advocacy center near you and let me know how it goes...you are not as alone as it feels!
Its time to get a lawyer. All of this sounds mighty fishy
