Hello alll....I am new here. I am a single mom of a 5 yr old and right now I am going to school full time and living with my mother.

I am studying massage therapy and one of my required classes is Stress management. We have an assignment where we have to put together a stress management seminar for a target audience of single parents of teens. My part is too come up with some case scenarios that we can use as examples....

Good and Bad

So anyone who feels like sharing would greatly increase my grade. I promise no names will be used I just need a story of a really bad day...or a really good day for that matter.

Thanks to all those who help!

hello, as a single mother of 11, i think i can tell you alittle of my stress. i have a home business working a small garden center and a large greenhouse. i homeschool my family so we can work the job together. the worst days are when i don't get up MUCH earlier than the rest of them. the go to bed in shifts and wake up in shifts. which means i have a life of endless shifts. well, i think i would like to know if you want to hear more, cause i can tell you about stress!

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW. I AM A 22 YEAR OLD MOTHER OF A 2 YEAR OLD BIRACIAL SON. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE GOOD AND BAD, FROM BEING TOLD I WAS A **** AND THE BABY WASN'T HIS, HAVING HIM WANT AN ABORTION, TO A ROUGH PREGANCY.

MY LITTLE BOY IS THE BEST THING AND EVERY DAY HE MAKES ME SMILE ALL THE TIME, BUT WE ALSO HAVE DOWNS. FOR INSTANCE NOW WE ARE MEETING WITH A DOCTOR ABOUT MY SON'S EAR INFECTIONS. HE MAY NEED SURGERY, WHICH ISN'T A BIG THING TIL IT IS YOUR CHILD.

LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP I HAVE LOTS OF STORIES

Thanks both of you for your offer...My assignment was due before anyone relpied though. I would still love to help anyone out by being here to listen though.

I was 21 when my son was born. His father was married before and already had one son. His ex put him through alot and he wasn't looking forward to going through the child thing again. The last few months of my pregnancy and the first few months afterward were great. He was a great dad and came home everyday right after work to play with his son. Then he started not coming home till 3 in the morning and was drunk when he came home. He thought that we could still party together after the baby was born. I grew up and quit drinking, smoking, and pretty much acting like a juvineille delinquint while he thought (him being almost 10 years older than me) he could just party the rest of his life as much as he pleased. We'd fight about it ...he pulled the I told you you should have had an abortion line on me and he even back handed me once. ( I never let that happen again.) He got back handed right back. He made everything out worse than it needed to be and he was the victim. After every fight he said he'd quit drinking and he would for a few months then when he fell off the wagon again he fell hard. After about 5 times of that I moved back in with my mom. We were still suppose to be working things out but he never really gave it a real try. He started calling less and less. Now it's been almost 2 years since my son has even talked to his father. I never filed for child support while He was still seeing our son even though he never really gave me money. Now I'm going to college full time and really need the help but the courts can't find him. His family doesn't know where he is either. He just disappeared completely. I SAY GOOD RIDDENCE! Even if I do need the money and my son does need a father.
