My story starts at 12:02am February 20th, 2004, the day I became a parent. My beautiful daughter was born and my world changed for the better. I was 19 young not married, but her father and I tried to give it a go. We struggled from day one with our relationship. When she was 3 months old I decided that he was to imature and not ready to be a father so I chose to move on. I told him I would not keep him from his daughter he could have and see her whenever he liked. He retaliated by getting a lawyer and seeking full custody. He claimed I was unstable not fit to be a mother and wanted me to pay him child support because I made more financially then him. The ironic thing is that I only made more money then him because I had to work two jobs just to support our daughter, as he was not supporting her in anyway. Needless to say I could not afford a lawyer so ended up settleing in court with 50/50 custody and a huge custody agreement wirtten up. This little deal was a joke. He never stood up to his end of the 50/50, as he never even had his own place to keep her. He only rented rooms from friends. He hardly took her, and never on a regular basis, did not pay for daycare or clothes ect... I allowed this to go on for almost 3 years.

Good afternoon everyone, this is officially my first blog ever. My intentions for this sight are to help all divorced, seperated,single and frustrated parents. Over the last five and half years I have have delt with alot of unique situations, and all sorts of feelings. Along with being remarried and having 3 step children, I have alot to offer in support and possibly helping you with making the right decisions for your situation. I am not an expert by any means, but I am a parent and have been through struggles. I have been through, seperation, trying to work things out, emotional abuse, anger from other parent, loss of work, daycare issues, struggling with life in general The list goes on and on. I am currently dealing with an incident that is a year now in the making. My daughters father abducted her from my current husband and I at a Christmas party in 2008. It took everything I could think of to legally get her back. It also took every ounce of self control my husband and I had to not just go crazy, it was a very emotional trying time for us. It took 5 weeks to get her back, and my daughter is now forever traumatized. I am learning alot in this situation, as far as counceling for kids, me, my family taking parenting classes to better myself and I hope to hear your comments and continue to post information for the average family in a way so that you can relate and understand.
