Same here, never showed up on any of the servers I use.

Besides, it's rude :)

Hi I hope you don't mind if I join your group. I am a single mom of a 2
1/2 year old girl, Heaven Elizabeth. I could really use some support
from others in my position.

Why? Are you just about to fall off a cliff or something?

Hi Ruth,

I am a single parent of two children aged 4 and 5 and have found life
difficult to get back on track on my own but with will and
determination you will get there, led by the happiness you find in
your child. My only advice is to make sure you also find plenty of
time for yourself and always remember you are an individual as well as
a mom.

Big agreement. If you are looking after a kid alone you are a critical
resource for them, valuable and important, keep yourself in good condition
so you can give them your best. When you start getting too wound up, unwind,
relax, do things for yourself, put yourself into a state you can give them
what they need and, heres the difficult part, realise its not selfish.
Everyone needs it and everyone needs their own batteries charged as well.

Best of luck to you all


Andrew
