Hi, my name is Regina

 

I am hoping to find a support group for SINGLE MOTHERS.

I am 43 young & a single mom of 5, and 3 teens live at home.I live in North Hollywood CA.

I am a good honest & trustworthy friend, and am looking for the same.

I do not receive child support and never have, I work hard and recently got injured on the job, and am going through alot of financial issues as you can imagine.

 

I used to be on welfare, who sent me to school, and the work program and it really worked for me!!! I feel I am a success welfare to work mom, since I left the Ex & he left me penniless on purpose with the kids. 

 

If anyone is interested, we could create our own group?!!!!!

I know there a ga-zillion million SINGLE MOMS, however I havent found a group anywhere!

 

If you're interested please contact me here at Dr Phils site.

Lets get together for a cheap lunch, picnic, or something you like.

Sincerely Regina

A Single Mom Looking for Support Goup

 I am very thankful that I am not a single mother myself, I have a very loving husband who is a wonderful father to our daughter.  I am not saying this to rub it in, or be mean.  I have the utmost respect for single mothers.  I go to school with quite a few, and have become friendly with some of them.  They are some of the stongest, bravest, hardest working women I have ever met.  To be both mother and father, and still maintain a job, go to classes, look to the future to ensure that your children will have all they need takes a lot of courage.  I am awed by some of the things single parents go through, and I have learned not to take anything for granted, and to appreciate my husband for being there for me and our daughter. 
I just wanted to let you know that I respect and admire the strength that all single parent's out there exhibit on a daily basis.  Go You!!!

My situation is not quite the same...

but rather similar but, also very complicated...  I would be willing to listen and offer advise where I can.  I do know what single moms go through and its a 'challenging role to play'.  Should anyone out there feel the need to want to talk with someone, please feel free to contact me - "my door is always open", I not a Dr. or anything like that, just someone whom is willing to listen...

 

Take Care out there

Dani

regina, I would like to be a part of your group

Hi Regina,

My name is Pam.  I live in PA.  near the Ohio border.  I was a single mom for 6 years.  I know all to well the struggles of day to day life.   My son's father was interested in having enough money for his bar flies and beer,  Not necessarily,  his only biological son.

I'm 32 now and have 2 children and married to a very good man.  I'm not rubbing this into you.  I just turned my life around when I got married in 2003.

I am very interested in corresponding with you.  I hope I can give you support, hope, and hopefully a few laughs along the way if you are interested? 

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.

 

LATER -  PAM from PA.

I am a single mother

I am a single mother, actually twice, I have a 4 year old and a 6 month old who is disabled. I am also looking for a support group. I am from Tucson, Az but maybe we could do something online? We could all start trading emails and keep in touch? Let me know what you think!

Sincerly,

Jessica

Trying to find help for a friend

 I have a friend named Katrina who is about 25 and has a 4 year old little girl. I work with Katrina and she is having a hard time supporting herself and her daughter. She is not recieving any support from the father and has taken him to court many times and never gotten anywhere with him. She has a mother who verbally abuses her and puts her down alot. She doesn't have a big support group of friends. She is behind on for rent and just doesn't know what else to do to start to get ahead. I have never been in that type of situation and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas to help me try and find some help for her. I think that she has been in this situation with no support of her mother and just barely getting by for so long that it's just starting to engulf her and she doesn't know where to go for help. I really like Katrina and I know that she is trying really hard but it's just not getting her anywhere. Could someone who has been able to get ahead, let me know what kind of help or HOPE I can give her? Thanks Sadie

I'm not single either but I'm home with my kids all day too. I have a 6 year old in kindergarten, a 4 year old in half day 4-kindgarten (preschool), a 3 year old and 2 year old with me all day. I know how much fun it is when you get stuck in the house with everybody and don't have another adult to talk too. I love my kids but it can get a little crazy especially around trying to get supper ready. That's when my husband gets home and the kids are used to me all day that they don't really know how to behave around him and he just does things a little different.  He gets along with everyone fine. Then its hard to talk some times because all I have to talk about is kid stuff and he actually gets to see the OUTSIDE world ( something besides Blues Clues, Higgletown Heros, Seasme Street......) So if you want to talk (write) I'm around:)  Sadie
