On the Board

jaclynmarie, there are a couple of groups for single parents. Parents Without Partners has a Dallas and a Lewisville/Ft. Worth chapter. The pwp web site has a link to finding a chapter; I don't know much about it, but I'm meeting with two women from the Lewisville chapter tomorrow, and will join then. They seem to do a lot of different things - family activities, adult things, etc. It sounds like a good group. www.meetup.com also has Single Parent groups. I'm a member of both the Ft Worth and the Arlington/Irving one. It's less formalized than Parents Without Partners (which requires proving single parent status), and I know you'd be welcome even before your baby is born. They are small groups; sometimes gatherings are just two or 3 moms (a couple of dads are in the groups, but haven't attended anything yet). We usually just meet for dinner and conversation, but as the groups grow we'll have a wider range of interests and be able to do more.

Been married for 12 years which makes it even harder.
Hi there, I live in denton and I feel for you more than words can say. I use to live in Plano a few years ago. I use to go there to take my daughter to see her friend. She is 11 years old right now. I could use any friends I can get. Really could use some help and a good ole friend. [/qb]

Hi there, I am currently in the same situation as you. Been married for 15 years though. If you would like to talk, let me know. I totally understand where you are coming from. quote: Originally posted by PlanoV8: [qb] Wow! this is the first thing I read when I logged in for the first time!
