| Hello all. My name is Melissa and I am new to the group. I am a middle school teacher and single mom of a three year old boy. His father ended our relationship (relatively new when the pregnancy happened) when I was 4 months pregnant. He didn't even want to attend the birth. I desperately wanted my son to have a relationship with his father so I always kept the door open. Today he has regular visitation and they have a good relationship. I have made a great life for myself and my son and we are doing very well. |

| Hi Melissa...I'm Shelly. I just joined the group today. I am a single mom of a 2 yr. old boy. I work in marketing for a financial institution. I was in a similar situation as you. Was in a relationship with a gentleman that was not really serious when the pregnancy occured. But I am blessed with the fact that his father is very much involved and we talk regularly about our son. I am in the process of completeing my degree and trying to pay for tuition out of my pocket, so my son and I are currently living with my parents...paying almost 2,000 a month in tuition, plus a mortgage, plus daycare costs would not work. I'm looking very much forward to graduation and moving my son and I into a home of our own. I have found it difficult to meet other moms who are familiar with my situation and I'm hoping this group is somewhere that I can find the support when it is needed. |

Hi Melissa,
I can relate to both you and Shelly. I have a 17 month old son with a man that I am no longer in a relationship with. When I got pregnant I was working on my Master's degree; which I have since finished. My son's father is a good father and a good friend to me. I haven't dated at all since I got pregnant, and none of my friends understand what it's like for me. They either don't have kids or are in a committed marriage with kids. I am also hoping that this site will give me some support from women who are in a similar situation. Good luck, ladies, and remember that there are others out there that feel the same! |

| Hi My name is Rosalie, and I'm new to the group too. My son's father and I separated last year, after being married for almost 3 years. I am in two colleges, both fulltime, and I also started my own, work-from-home business about 3 weeks ago, so that keeps me busy. I can relate to the statement about friends not understanding....I'm 23 w/ a 2 yo, in school, and working from home.....not many of my friends understand that being a mom isn't easy. Its like they say..."you've never had a fulltime job, til you became a mother" Needless to say I have NO social life, and in the process of all this I'm losing my friends, but ya know what? I still have my baby, and thats where its at!! |
