I didnt make the interview as I was in hospital with my son, he had a terrible infection on his gum which caused him lots of pain, I had no one to come an take over while waiting at the hospital for his xrays, but I would not of left him anayway. They said the would get me in for another interview but they never and the course started a few weeks ago so I missed out.

Im due to another interview for same course but another college so will see how that goes. Thanks for asking hun and the support.Hope your course is going well..xx

I have also been a single parent for a good part of 17 years and I have to admit although it is tough at times, it is so worth it. (And I had her just before my 18th Birthday !!) When I realise how far I have come I am damn proud. Have a nice house, car, work full time and always have and now have a beatiful bright young adult daughter who is now forging her own future.

I can hold my head up high and say that I done it all myself (although was in 2 long term relationships, my DD has always been my responsibility).

So although the last 17 years has had many ups and downs I just have to look at my DD and realise that I wouldn't have changed anything. This may have changed who she is today.

Hello all you lovely mummys and daddies,
been a while since Ive posted on this thread, hope your all ok and doing well.
Just a little update from me, well Im still single lol and still the same. Ex hasnt teally been in touch, so have decided to leave it up to my son now.Even though he isnt really old enough to decide, I think its best for my sons own wellbeing that ex doesnt see him as he isnt bothering with him what so ever. He has seen him a few times this year and each time he didnt do anything with DS. All he was intersted in was finding out details about me. DS plays up when he sees him and then doesnt for so long and I think that is not fair on DS.Ex also got very abusive in phone calls when he was drunk recently and said some not nice things to DS, so I feel its best to protect my son from this.I have encouraged DS to speak to him but he wont.I feel when DS is ready he will want to see and speak to him but at the mo for the 1st time in a long time DS is doing well.Hopefully I will move soon and I will not tell ex where we live due to his behaviour.
Anyway apart from that all is well and life is ok.Hope everyone else is doing well and that some of you have found love.Take care and hope you all enjoy the holidays xx

Hiya,
Welcome to the group.You aint boring us.You can write anything and everything, what ever you want. I just wanted to say well done for being such a great mother of 2 boys.I only have one and that is tough as it is, having more than one is harder.You should be proud of yourself and reward yourself for the hardship you have had to go through.
I to am a single mummy.DS is 6 now.Like you have been a single mum from day 1.Strange lol, i call my ex spermdonor too, always have done, although I did love him once but he was to violent,abusive,drink and drug taker.He had many chances but my life was at risk, so I had to escape from him.It was very hard at first, not having no family or anyone for help and support but 6 years on, like you me and my boy are solid.SD had reamined in our lives on and off.He would see son a few times, then not see or hear from him for ages.When it came to xmas and birthday he would dissapear.He has a well paid job, has other kids from other woman and finacially supports them but not son.I grew up without my dad and found it very tough, i didnt want my son to be the same but as a mum I had to make a choice If i wanted my son to witness SD behaviour and grow up like him or cut all contact.This year he came to my sons 6th bday as I gave him his ultimatum, he stayed for 40mins and left, hasnt seen him since.SD only rings when he has split up from a girlfriend or is having a hard time.When he sees son he does nothing with him.All he does is try and find out if im with anyone and constantly puts me down.Before he would ring everyday for a week or so, then would hear nothing, same thing is happening now.Son doesnt want to talk to him.Before I would make my son talk to him or tell him off for not speaking to him.Now I do not force him and dont answer his calls as I dont want to force son.He has messed with my sons head pretty bad and this has affected my son a lot.As his mother I feel I have to protect his wellbeing.SD gave me grief again today as I dont answer calls, he doesnt understand NO.If i tell him son doesnt want to talk, he blames me, yet they have no bond.I have encouraged my son to speak to him but he has his own mind now and I cannot and will not allow him to use my son anymore.I am going to get a lof of grief from him over this but am use to it now.SD use to make me feel very guilty but thats the drink and drugs talking.He will always be a danger to me and I hope oneday I will be 100% free from him.Also when son would see him one minute and not the next, he would play up and disrupt him.I feel I am doing the right thing by protecting my son now.If he decides he wants to see him or talk to him then I will let him but he doesnt want to so I am not going to force him.

Hello everyone, can I join too? Recently became a lone parent in Nov last year when ds was only 7 weeks old and dd 4 years old. Divorcing him. Finding it tough but hoping things can only get easier.
