Nice to see someone has something to say on the subject. Having to
decide what is best for your child can be nerve racking. No one is
perfect and all decisions can have situations that come up later to
haunt you. My son's father left and hasn't seen him in over a year and
now my son doesn't even mention him much and when he does it's just in a
passing thought. Like "my dad got me this" and then it's off to the next
thought in his active little life. They know who has been there and who
hasn't. They may be little but they do know. Hang in the Keith, you will
make the right decision and thank you Tony for letting someone know how
you handled it.

He might miss out on some pretty damn good advice. IF that is truly why

he
is here. Why are YOU here again?


Hmmmm....good question. Originally I came because the misleading name of

the
group was support for single parents. Still hoping... So far, just a

bunch of
cranky, critical people. Amusing, though.


Why don't you try again..... what sort of issues are you having to deal with
that brought you here?

Sounds interesting. I have read numerous posts offering advice. But then,
maybe you don't read them thoroughly; or choose to focus on the ones that
promote conflict. Whichever the case, one can always hope people will stick
around, and find the 'good stuff.' Sometimes you just have to ignore what
doesn't work, or what seems to be a stab at you personally. When I first
posted here, I felt some of the people here were overly critical. I
responded with clear clarification, not spiteful jibes, and they faded away;
until they had something to say. If it doesn't apply to you or the
situation, leave it alone. Not everyone has been through EXACTLY the same
thing. Sometimes we (adults, parents, single parents, pick your choice)
need to let off steam. Sometimes, things get out of hand. Just because you
were involved in a situation like that, doesn't mean the entire group is
unsupportive. I have found lots of support here. Some advice as well.
This isn't alt.support.single-parents.find-the-best-way-to-live-your-life.
Sometimes support is just listening (or in this case, reading) and
commiserating. Saying something like, "yes, I know what you mean. I have
been there, it gets better (or worse)" It doesn't mean that every time
someone posts, there is going to be advice; because sometimes there just
isn't any. Sometimes we just have to muddle through no matter what. You
may be financially secure, and self-secure. I don't know, simply because I
haven't yet seen it in your posts. I have not ruled you out, I wish you
wouldn't do that to others here. Some people have a pretty rough way of
stating things. Unfortunately, the truth is painful sometimes. No matter
how you coat it, it can be tough to swallow. The sooner we all learn that
the better. I am STILL learning that lesson. LOL

My hope is you will read with more open-mindedness, and realize we are not
all where you are in life. Some are further ahead, some further behind.
That's what makes this group work. Some people have information on one
aspect, others on another. Draw what you need, don't bother with what, for
you, might be drivel. Simple. When I first posted, people said some pretty
rough things, that could have hurt my feelings. I had not explained my
situation entirely, and it caused confusion. It could have been a 'flame'
war, if I had responded with anger. I simply stated more detail, sometimes
it's information that can fix the problem. I sincerely hope you hang
around. It sounds like you might have some advice to give, if you would be
willing to share. So far, I haven't seen any, but if you have been here
awhile, I might have missed some. If you just ignore those who are 'out to
get you,' and post pertinent information, I could make a better judgment
call about some of what I have written. Of course, this probably makes no
sense to you, as most of my replies to you have been stabs, jibes, needles,
whatever you want to call them. They seemed appropriate at the time; but it
was not a mature response. You have to admit, however, neither were yours.
Please give the group a chance, I did. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Just my thoughts. Incoherent as they may be.

Betsy

How about a truce? I have actually been reading most of the posts. There are
some interesting people here with interesting (sorry, can't think of another
word) comments and advice. I have been afraid to respond at all for fear of
upsetting the people who already don't want me here.
My first post here was written after lurking for quite some time. I had
read a lot of stabs at people and just had to respond---I should not have done
so, I guess, especially when no one knew who I was. It just sky-rocketed from
there. I never mentioned any one person, but then it got out of control as
people singled me out.
Don't mean to ramble....sorry.

I agree to a truce...let's hope others do as well. Rambling...no apology
needed, we all do it from time to time...well most of us...well...SOME of
us. Anyway, see what I mean? Maybe it was poor timing, or poor wording, I
don't know. Hope you stick around, just to see if you can find something
useful here.

I'm seriously starting to get confused as to what you're replying to. I
don't believe it has anything to do with education, be it yours or mine, or
anyone else for that matter. It is confusing, though, to read something and
have no idea what you are responding to, only to try and go back and figure
out what it is, exactly that you are commenting on.
I don't care so much about the capitals, or lack of capitals, or even the
punctuation, (again lacking) but trying to follow what you are talking about
is really starting to get confusing and more frustrating.
