Well, my ex and I have been divorced for over 2 months and I thought I was over him. Recently however he has started coming over and spending alot of time with me. If we spend more than a few days together though I feel like going crazy because we start to fight and it seems like everything becomes like it was. We split because we could never get along and always faught in front of our daughter and knew that wasn't good for her. I am so confused. When we get along we have alot of fun but there is so much baggage and we can't get along for too long. He says he never wants to be together again but says we may as well be there for each other until we find someone new. It is hard cause he wants me to be in a "relationship" with him with no hope for the future. My head is spinning.

Hi everyone. I have a 2 yr old little girl and have divorced her father. I know that I am ready to move on but not really sure where to start. I havn't been on a date in years and not really sure where to look for someone new. I have tried finding someone online but every time that a guy finds out I have a kid, they run. Any advice?

I don't really want to get back with him cause he gave me full custody of her cause he says he's too young to have a child. It's just hard seeing him and knowing I have to start over after 3 1/2 yrs and a daughter together.

I have been apart from my ex husband for almost 9 months now. I have a beautiful apartment, a car, and full custody of the most wonderful little girl. So it sounds like I should be happy. Well, when I first left him I was. I went out with friends, smiled, laughed and just felt good. Well the divorce went through 2 months ago and now the ex is coming back around saying he wants to be in his daughters life and is getting me to spend time with him cause he knows I don't like to be alone. We have been hanging out but at the end of a day we hang out he always expects sex. I just don't feel that way and if I don't give it to him he gets abusive and out of control. I don't know what to do. I don't go out much anymore and sometimes wish I could stay in bed all day. I'm scared about this affecting my daughter and I know I am becoming depressed. I have been trying to find a new man but no one seems intrested. It doesn't help that the holidays are coming either. I feel so alone and just don't know what to do about the ex. I thought life would ber better after I left him but I am so confused. Please help!

I am a single mommy of a 2 1/2 little girl. I divorced her daddy a few months ago and have been living apart from him for 8 months. I have full custody of her but she still visits with him. The last few months have been so hard. She won't listen to anything I say and it seems like I have tried everything short of spanking her which I don't believe in doing. She destroys things, bites and says no to everything I say. Yet she will listen to eveyone else. What am I doing wrong. This is so hard to do alone. Please offer some advice on disipline, toilet training, and monsters. She is driving me crazy!!

Hi, When my daughter was little she wouldn't take take a pacifier until she started teething at 3 months. I tried using a NAM but she refused to take it so I switched to a nuk and then she would only take a silicon one. Have you tried using different kinds to find one your little one likes? Also I have heard that if you're breastfeeding it's hard to get them to take one so if your doing that that may make a differece. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone, This is what happened to me. I got pregnant and married when I was 18 to a guy who blinded me with what was supposed to be love! He told me when we found out I was pregnant that we would get married and everything would work out. Well, I was young and scared so we tied the knot. Huge mistake. He was always at work or out with his friends and I was the one left at home taking care of our baby. He claimed he loved us but could never find the time for us. Well, of course I gave him chance after chance thinking that he could change.....but they don't. He wasn't ready for a child and may never be. I have been divorced for two months now and been away from him for almost a year now. My daughter has adjusted and I got sole custody of her and he is no longer in her life. He told me after the divorce that he wanted the single life and that he never wanted a child.. I am 21 with a young child, living on my own and have no friends ( he was very controlling and wouldn't allow me to have any ). I get down but I just remember how he wasn't there when we were together so the only real difference is what is on paper! I was just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and if anyone can offer some advice on making being a single mommy easier. I see so many people my age out having fun while I am at home. I can't afford a sitter and love my daughter very much .... havn't worked since she was born cause I don't want to put her in daycare and would miss too much that way since they are only young once. I love being a mommy but miss being 21 can anyone offer some advice to let me know that life will get better?
