Posted: 9/17/2006 8:40:30 AM | I get financial help from my lil' kids father.
As for the kind of help I really need I get none.
For the most part, my lil' kid is turning exactly the
way I want him to. Because there is no 'other party'
to interfere.
I wouldn't have it any other way. I can do this myself.
I'm taking all the credit.

Posted: 9/17/2006 8:51:42 PM | well i'm about to have a baby with out any help from my ex. he told me that he would help pay for child support because i can't work, but i haven't seen one penny from him and probably will never see a penny. so it will be very interesting on how i'll beable to do this on my own. | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 11:32:51 PM | OP: This is extremely common. I am raising my son without the help of his father. (He's never seen him). The thing is, it gives me satisfaction knowing I am supporting him mostly, not just financially, but emotionally as well. I'm pretty lucky though, as I have my 3 older sons (from my marriage), that contribute to his needs ie.....buy him clothes, and get him into sport etc.....it's like having 3 fathers!
They are aware of what he needs in his life, as they have all been there, and they feel he is also their responsibility. Without them it would be very difficult.   | |

Posted: 9/18/2006 1:08:55 AM | | I've found this very common. though it did intitially surprise me how many of us guys are custodial parents. I've been on my own with my monkeys for 9 years now. I couldn't have asked for a better gift than not to have to share them with anyone. Like all else in life you figure it out as you go. | |

Posted: 9/24/2006 8:30:42 PM | ~ Their dad and I share custody - time with them is one week on & one week off. I was beside myself when we first implemented this but knew it was for the children....I guess you can kind of say 'I am on my own' when they are with me - my family is not there to help me out financially or anything else. I do commend single parents who do it ALL on their own - it is challenging and it is also rewarding  ~ | |

Posted: 12/11/2006 5:11:20 PM | | I think it's very common these days for a single parent to have no help from their ex. My little sister (now 15) has never know her dad and I know it really upsets her. I have a 1 year old son and his father has never seen him (his choice) and doesnt even help me with money (my choice). | |

Posted: 12/11/2006 8:15:29 PM | I enjoy time with my daughter everyday. I feel blessed to have that opportunity...even with no help. I also believe that it is increasingly common...as you have probably already come to notice. Really have no idea why I am posting this actually..the question has been answered over and over again~  | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 12:12:24 AM | I've been bringing up my son alone now for the last 19 months,he's 2 today. I treasure every moment with him. We don't need his womb donor,she's gone on to have another kid,which has now gone into care.
It's the other parents loss,so really they're the victims by missing out on the kids. | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 9:34:06 AM | | Help? Is there such a thing? lol Im raising my girl on my own, no help from any one and i dont need the help. To have a husband would be awesome, but until that happens Im ok on my own. I go to school full time so i can make a better life for my girl. Better then what i had. Mind you i didnt have a bad childhood. But want to make it as easy for her as possible. Her father wanted me to abort her and i said no. Then he wanted me to give her up for adoption. That was not an option either in my eyes. He has never seen her and wont ever see her. He lives 20 mins away and so does his parents and family. They dont even know shes exists. I think its for the best. Then i dont have to fight with him or his family. I make all the decisions when it comes to her. Cheers to all the parents who dont get help. We rule! We can do this. | |

Posted: 12/12/2006 8:30:20 PM | I am a single mother of an 11 yr old girl whose father disappeared when I caught him doing IV drugs -- she was 3 1/2. I know several single parents, both men and women. In fact, I share custody of my 15 yr old son w/my ex (diff one that girl's father). We split holidays and summers I still pay child support to him. My daughter's dad sent a total of $349.00 to her for support and stole it when we got back together.
Stick it out....it does get easier. It's hard cause you want to give your kids everything & without 2 incomes it's really tough. Give it time. You can do it. Remember the main thing your kids need is your love and guidance.
Good luck--feel free to get in touch w/any ????S

Posted: 12/14/2006 4:24:40 PM | | I have two kids with this man that I Left because of mental / physical abuse in 1992. I haven't gotten a red copper from the jerk because he's too busy supporting another family he had after ME. Yeah the odd time i'll complain about it and cry, but it's because it's hard, and of course I want to try to give them the best in life, and give them what they want, but on one income it's crazy. All i ever hear from them, and he tells teenagers....I don't have any money.....and i SAY......What makes you think i do? sheesh......but yeah i agree....You must either go on, OR go to court and fight it. | |

Posted: 12/15/2006 1:50:29 AM | I've been a singledad alone for 13yrs my son's mother took off and never looked back. i'm not sure there is such a thing as NO help, as i had my family and friends to help. Also every school teacher he has ever had has helped in some way. We are never truly alone in raising our children. Haha i sound like a NUT.
I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday season!

Posted: 12/15/2006 7:13:57 AM | I have 2 sons, and 2 jobs and am studying for a degree, so in future i can manage with 1 well paid job.
Their father was very abusive and definitely had mental health issues that i had to deal woth on my own, no family or friends to support me.
Finally got rid of him, and Im still alive and bringing up my bous on my own, but its ok cos his influence would not have been good for them at all.
SOmetimes its really hard financially, and I can get really exhausted but I look at my boys and all the stress washes away.
All i need now is someone to share my life with or maybe not, jst watcihn them grow into decent respectable men with ambition is fine by me.
SO all single parents trying their best, HOLD YR HEADS UP, bringign up children on yr own isnt easy but its so so so REWARDING. | |
