single parenting ...not that simple
I wish it was just that, single parenting. I have raised my son since he was born. His, what others call his father(I personally don't think of him as any such thing), has not been around really at all since i have had him until recently. Now that my son has turned one however, he is telling people he has been involved the whole time and making me seem like the bad one in the situation. I have to say he has come over four times in that year and called once right before my son turned one asking if he could come over to see him. I did say no. Don't get me wrong I have a good reason, he called my at 9:30pm and my son was already sleeping. He got very angry at me and is threatening to bring me to court. Back on track a little bit. I now by court orders have to go to a "parenting together when you are not together" class every Monday night for two hours with him. I did not receive this information until last night when I called him for other reasons regarding my son. He told me we had a class but wouldn't tell me where it was or when. I then called his mother today asking her if she had information on it and she let me know so that I wouldn't get in trouble by the courts; which was his plan all along I found out from his sister. I have not gone to the class yet but I am dreading it. I will let you all know what happens, I have a horrible feeling however that things are not going to go well and that it is one of those things you sit in a circle and share things. :-( I pray it's not.

Well, I have been a single parent for the last 6 months and my son is two. I agree, it is not easy. But just remember, when your son gets older, he will know who was truely there, who loved him the most, and the type of man he will be depends on you. You are a good mom, I can tell because of how protective you are of him. Don't let your ex get in the way. You are doing great!
Ugh! that sounds terrible. I know a few people that are in the same situation with the father of their children and I think it's so pathedic of the fathers. I hope everything goes well for you!
Well it sounds like a sucky situation. It looks like he's doing great. I don't know how you do it, with work and school. It takes a lot of time. Just keep on pushing through.
That sucks that you have to go to those classes now. I would hate going to. I don't know how you can handle having a little son and going to school at the same time. I hope everything works out, and hopefully those classes will get better.
