This diatribe will go just as well towards vindictive, angry mothers as it will fathers but, as I’ve just gotten done with a tour of the Blogosphere and read some of the nasty, crappy things some fathers have done to their children to get back at their ex’es… this post will address revenge-seeking fathers.
You suck.

No more children for this single mom. I think I’ve been in a kind of mourning for this loss for about a week, now. This has been one of those big issues I’ve Not. Been. Writing. About. I suppose I’m just tired of cracking my skull on the elephant in the room.

I’ve been watching this day creep closer and closer on the calendar. Finally. I’ve survived my first year of life as a single mother. On some counts, I’d say I’ve more than survived. I know my child is thriving, full of health, happiness, and a kindness of spirit that makes everything I have fought for […]
I ran into a friend from my elementary school days… It’s funny, we went to high school together, too, but she seems so proud to tell her friends, “We were friends in kindergarten!”
I haven’t seen her since I moved back to the States;indeed, I didn’t even get in touch with her when I got back. […]
The mind boggles.
I’ve lost my anchor. The King of Everything is on a grand adventure with his grammy to Richmond and points south. He doesn’t want to talk to me when I call, he’s so busy playing with his cousins and going to the petting zoo, the water park, the science museum. My mother is […]
Hi, my name is Christina, and I’m a single mother…
I landed in the US six months ago today, jet lagged and heartsick and utterly bereft of the dreams I thought were mine to count on. I’ve been thinking about this day for about a week, now. Wondering how I’d feel when it finally rolled around, […]
My kid got his feelings hurt by a grown up this weekend. Some grown ups just don’t know when to stop, and this particular one teased the kid to within an inch of his sanity, pushing the joke far past the point where it stopped being funny. To the point where my almost four year […]
I lay in a borrowed bed, safe between pillow top and feather comforter, the egg blue walls muted by midnight, my face turned towards the square of streetlight across the pillow. It was an old, familiar feeling of other sanctuaries, other borrowed beds with metal frames, a different street lamp illuminating a different sleeping scene, […]
No, it’s not a cult. Kate over at Babylune is in, how ’bout you?
It’s a group started in San Francisco (where else?) that made a promise not to buy anything new for a year. I wrote about it over at Inside Motherhood (read “Can you live with less? The Compact is inspiring change“). From time […]
I love it when friends are successful. Kate over at Babylune has two more ticks on her scorecard. Before Christmas, she announced that she would buy a family in a developing country some Christmas gift to help them out, if only we would visit her page and get the stats up. Well, she bought a […]
