It's not easy being a single Mom raising a child with Down syndrome. I've been really angry to have to deal with a Dad who gives me no advance notice of when he's coming or even for how long he will keep my son. Tonight I finally told him he is taking my son tomorrow and I am going to the Blue Grass Festival again and it's time he STEPS UP as a father. I'm sick of him treating me like I have no rights. This is his only child through adoption and I am quite p.o.ed to put is nicely. I really believe when you adopt a child you grow up and stop being so darn selfish.

I'm dealing with an IEP meeting and evaluations by myself, and it's been a real rough week since my son isn't exactly being cooperative with the school psychologist. I guess when God brings you to it, he helps you through it and I've got quite the road ahead of me because I did not put my child in preschool and he's been with me a LOT. So it's going to be a huge adjustment.

I'm thinking I had an awesome time dancing beneath the stars at the Blue Grass Festival tonight and I want to go in the morning again. Just hope my feet can take it. LOL

Looks like this thread hasn't been active in awhile. I've been dealing with the process of trying to put my son in school. He didn't want to cooperate with the school psychologist today. I think this process is going to be really hard since he's been home for the most part. He is quite stubborn and has Down syndrome.

I dated a guy who was never married, but went back to an ex anyway. So finalizing a divorce isn't the ONLY problem since a relationship isn't guaranteed even with a single person. It's a risk either way, and some people are willing to take that risk, and some aren't. It does depend on the person and certainly their circumstances.

I'm separated, and I can tell you I feel like I've been emotionally divorced for years...and I did everything I could to try and change the situation. Thing is I'm raising a child with special needs, and I have a son who has one more year to graduate. It's sad to say that for the past five years I have felt divorced because of the lack of actions on my spouses part. You can't force a person to change no matter how much you wish they'd change. I feel really bad because I adopted my son with disabilities, and I guess I haven't worked those feelings out.

I can understand why people would only want to date a person who is divorced, and that is fine. But I wouldn't be too judgemental on everyone with separated status because the circumstances may not be what you think. There are plenty of married people claiming to be single!

Lying is WRONG... hence the reason I asked my husband to JUST LEAVE.

I'm thinking I need to grab the vac and clean up the carpets since a school psychologist is coming to my house early in the am tomorrow.

Coming thru.... excuse me... I WIN!

I just joined the online weight watchers today. Anyone have any stories to share about their success?

Good Morning Charles! Good morning all!

Charles I changed the email address and now it's working. I was able to confirm. Thank you.

Upon checking my mail, I had a VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS pop up.
Even after clicking it to do so, it isn't doing anything. I checked the spam mail and nothing there either.
Is this a bug?

Hello! Anyone around the area like to camp? Where is your favorite place to go?
