Single Parents General Chatter - Dec 2007-Jan 2008

Ahhh, yes - the AO party. He he he!

Hey Barbie, there was an article in yesterdays Herald Sun regarding the effect that parents constantly re partnering can have on the children and how its best to work on building a relationship before introducing the kids etc. Want me to cut it out so you can send it to your GF??
Whoa Nelly, she seems to be going a bit fast doesn't she??

Lulu, sounds like DD"s stupid dad should read that.
He's moved in with his new GF, one DD had never met and she has a 3 year old daughter.
He honestly thinks im going to let DD go and stay with him, his strange GF, in a strange house, with a feral (and i say that cause i met her) 3 year old who hits, pinches, scratches and pushes her mother while her mother says nothing.

Why can't he do things the normal way and let DD get to know them before moving in together ??
Idiot.

Dee, your ex sounds like a right boofhead!

Reading this thread, I'm glad that exP lives on the other side of the country, hopefully it'll stay that way!

I just had a big emo about leaving him, having had the realization the person I fell in love with isn't the person he is now. I actually feel better now, having sorted things out in my head and had a good cry (though i'm not so sure i'm finished yet!) It honestly feels like I'm mourning the death of the person he used to be, rather than grieving the end of the relationship. Which is better, I think. I couldn't have gotten away from this ******* fast enough but I still care deeply about who he USED to be. That's totally good with me because it means I have no temptation whatsoever to give into his manipulative attempts to guilt me into getting back together with him.

haha well, DP and the GF broke up!! That didn't take long!

How is everyone else travelling?

Hi everyone, i'm new here. Just became a single parent 2 weeks ago. How is everyone?

I'm depressed and full of chocolate how are you?

[C~Q]

I wish I was full of chocolate lol! Half way through my 12 week challenge at the gym so not allowed any of that. Prob a good thing or i'd be enormous and an alcoholic after these last few weeks!

I'm doing ok, trying to stay positive and away from those negative people who seem to thrive and get visibly excited when I tell them things have gone wrong - do you know the sort I mean - you can tell they're loving every nasty story and fight I even had a text from this friend the other day saying "wow, I don't think it's going to be so amicable anymore!" and it just made me think she was absolutely loving it, something like this really makes you realise who your true friends are
