When we first were married, neither of us could remember what life had been like before ‘us’. Now that it has all fallen apart, I can’t remember what brought us together in the first place. I have no idea who that man sleeping in our daybed is.
Our son is glad to see his papa. […]
I have to write a eulogy for my aunt who passed away just before Valentine’s Day. The memorial is tomorrow. She was a neat woman, and I will miss her. I am lucky to still have my parents, and I am grateful for all their love and support during this difficult transition in our lives, […]
Maybe I can say this because I’m not a rabid Beatles fan — I was caught between Kiss and the Who when I was coming of age, thank you very much. (What that says about me, I’m not quite sure…) But the vitriol being spouted about celebrities as they gear up to split up is […]
Kate over at Babylune has interviewed Gloria Gamat, who writes Cancer Commentary, about what it’s like to be a single mother from the beginning.
Thank you, Kate and Gloria, for such a thoughtful conversation about the real life choices mothers make every day when we’re left to raise our children more or less by ourselves. I […]
I’m stealing someone’s low bandwidth, since I won’t get hooked up meself until the first of December; believe me, it’s been a long six weeks without decent Net access!
One of the not so charming things about where we live is who else lives in the house with us: there are Rodents of Undetermined Size prowling […]
Thanks to Stealthbadger for pointing me towards this article in the Washington Post about single parents in today’s military: Yearning to be Whole Again. I can’t imagine what it must be like Over There for the blesh and blood we collectively lump under the faceless label of ‘the military’ or ‘our troops’ or what have […]
It’s difficult to talk on the phone with the Ex right now. I don’t have anything to say that doesn’t start off with, “Why?” I’m angry. While I’m excited about the life and possibilities that are opening in front of me and my our child, I’m hurt, angry and bewildered that there was apparently something […]
Google kindly fills my single mother inbox with doozies about separation, divorce, and custody on a regular basis. Tonight, it shared this little gem with me: A Nasty Divorce Battle and A Nosy Husband Lead to Bomb Scare… I thought I’d pass it on to you:
A small black object that was found attached to the bottom of a woman’s […]
There’s nothing quite like experiencing something beautiful, knowing with a certain dread that you will never again experience that simple, normal moment. As the exquisite sounds of I Muvrini filled the makeshift ampitheater one starry night in August, as the singer lifted his voice and asked, “A Qui Tu Es L’Amour?” (”Who adores you?” is […]
Single parents have a lot to worry about. This single mother is worried about what will happen to her son if something happens to her… or if something happens to both his parents. I know that, legally, the King of Everything would go live with his father if I were to die. I worry that he’d […]
