Thought it was about time to admit that I belong here.

Username: Jitterbug
Real name: Jess
Number of children: 1
Separated since: Quite a few months now.
Care arrangements: Lives with me, has visits with her Dad but I always stay also.
Biggest challenge as a single parent: The fear, mostly. Not getting much of a break. Worrying about the effect this all has on DD. The battles; custody, child support -- the emotional blackmail. Dealing with heartache when you can't find a moment to cry.
