Hi I am new and came across this site.. I am 36yr old, single mum now for 3years even though in my marriage it felt like I was a single parent.. Well I am now single and have two lovely girls.. I work part time and love it but there is something missing.
I can not go out much without them as I have no support.
I am in England.
I want more for myself like more travel and would love to write but do not know where to start.

I had my knock back when my ex took us for a 2 week hoilday and told me on the 1st week he didnt love me anymore after 15yrs.
I have tried dates in the last 3 years but something was always missing... this might not make sence but it sure feels good to write it down.. if you read this sorry to bore you .

Hi and welcome.
I know exactly what you mean about no support if you want to go out without the kids.I feel mine are glue to me 24/7.Even when their mother visits they come to me.
I enrolled on an Open University course just to give me a little "Brain strain" as I was getting bored and the high light of my week is Mother's and Toddler group at the kids school.Where after much suspicion Iam now an honorary Mum.

Best wishes,

Mark

Welcome,
I have only been a single mother for 21 months (that's the age of the little man of my life). I understand what you say. It is not boring. I have been a 'Mom only', and am hoping now to be a full time working Mom, soon. I am putting a lot of hopes in that. I am hoping to meet more people and maybe have a social life again. Not necessarily find a husband, just friends. I guess I am boring you now. All I wanted to say is, stay here with us, it will give you new ideas and energy.
WELCOME again.

Hi! I am new at all of this: divorce, dating after 20 yrs of marriage, dealing w/ adolescent kids and the above, even filing individual income tax forms. Heck, I am not even officially divorced yet, just emotionally. I feel scared and confused, and lonely. Single women my age reflect my age. Men... It feels funny looking for a date while my trasitional hub is still in the house w/ the kids and me. We've been house mates for almost 2 yrs. I can relate to friendship issues. Suddenly, I feel odd among couples ( and I am) and entirely uncomfortable w/ sngles. I homeschool my ds and enjoy it mostly. Still, I need occasional adult contacts, too. I miss friends to go shopping or eat lunch together. My peers seem to be oh-so-busy w/...

Thank you.. the hardest time is when my ex has the girls one day aweek, but its only for 3 hrs after school, not much time for me to get out.. I hate the thought of him taking them and being this great dad, when he could not care before.. now he is married to the person whom he had a affair with at work.
time heals they say but it's taking time.. I do not love this man anymore but get ate up when he has them..
