Dear Aannaa, Welcome to mylot. I suppose this is your first discussion topic. I am not a single. I have my wife and a son. We have been married for nearly 15 years and everything is going fine. We enjoy our life. How about you?

Yes, I'm a newbie here. Thanks for the reply. I am happy for you and your family. I am doing fine with the help of my parents and siblings. I would like to someday have a loving family like yours. My son would really appreciate that. He was asking one time why his cousins have mom and dad and I just stir out of the topic. Hope to hear from you again. Anna

I am so sorry to hear about it. It is difficult to answer child's questions. I was always wondering why such things happen in families? Separation is really painful and unforgettable bad experience. What holds them together? Lack of faith, money, too much of independence for both? All put together, or failure of marriage system.? Fortunately in India, despite family differences, they hang on to each other, find some solution to live together, probably because the family bondage is very strong. I like that. PS: Will you be interested in a site meant for women (It is UK site and pays well. I have introduced 2 women from phillipines.) Please send a PM.

I am actually married, but some would say that I am a single mother of three...for the time being that is. my husband is overseas, so i am raising our three children by myself. When my husband and i first married, i had been a single mother for four years. The thing is, he left four days after we were married so i was once again a single mother. but, thankfully...it's only for a season. He took on my two boys that i had from a previous marriage and after returning from his deployment we had a daughter, who is now 19 months old...but Daddy is gone again. so, technically, i'm not a single mother, but i am if that makes any sense what so ever. that's the life of the military though. they see daddy on the web cam, but that is so much different than actually getting to raise your children as a family.

This is a personal question if you prefer not answer it will be fine by me. Here goes... does your husband from previous marriage help financially for your 2 boys you have with you? Anna.

Thanks for responding. I just got curious. You're very lucky to have found a new love and had move on. Personally, my son haven't met his father yet and I feel that he really likes to meet his father. His father has not supported him even a single penny. I don't think much about it now. I am now focusing on looking for a job that would take care of our financial needs and in making my son happy. I have not found a new love. Maybe, just have to be patient besides I don't want to make the same mistakes. Anna

I am a single dad, and have been ever since my wife left me and my two sons 12 years ago. She met someone else and started to develop a drinking problem and started smoking, I confronted her about this and she said she'd rather be with chuck then me. Soon after she left I put a restaining order to keep chuck away from my sons. They were comming back home with bruises and it turned out he was hitting them when they acted up, my wife refused to leave him so she lost custody of the kids back in 98 and has not seen them since. I pretty much had to cut ties with her whole family since they used to sneak behind my back and let her see the kids, if she really wanted to see them and loved them as a mother should she would have changed her ways.
