ExperienceI have gone through more than some and less than others just like everyone else.
I have two boys and I'm raising them myself. My divorce from their father took over three years with 34 hearings with the Judge. The end result was that I got the boys and he got the bills. Works for me!
Like any other single mom I work all day and then I come home and see to homework, PTA meetings, parent/teacher meetings, fundraisers, boy scouts, football, appointments, cooking, cleaning and what ever else pops up. My ex is pretty much out of the picture. He sees the boys about three days a year, if they're lucky they get him at Christmas or their birthdays -- they haven't been lucky the last couple of years but they don't let it get them down.
