I keep getting letters from Child Support with their estimates on how much Child Support I am suppose to recieve each month, BUT I haven't seen any money for more than 2 years, in fact I am owed over $20,000. Why do they waste their paper?
 Remember that guy? He's your brother.June 26th 2008 14:45
Before my mum passed away last year, she confessed she had had a baby before marrying my father.
Up until that point I thought my mother was a virgin let alone capable of a child out of wedlock. Upon investigation via family members I found out it was true and tried through Human Services to obtain paperwork to try and find him. Mum must have intervened as several attempts and after numerous contacts, no promised paperwork. I gathered information known and searched what I could to no avail but from what I knew, he was in his mid 40's and probably in USA. Imagine my shock this week when I asked a family friend if she knew anything and she accidently dropped a name. As it turns out, I grew up with my half brothers family. Although i did not so much know him, I knew his other adopted siblings and parents quite well. We had moved into the same Church district as he and his adoptive family when I was but a year old and apparently my mother did not know herself for years. I do not know what he knows but once over the shock, through Human Services i will again try to make contact to at least let him know he has birth family wanting to make contact. I honestly can't explain the feeling I have, but I feel a need to at least let him know he is wanted and he shares a part of me, and I would like to acknowledge him as being a part of me, that is if he wants too.
Finding love again after the hurt.....May 4th 2008 08:55
When I was a teenager, I thought I would grow up, get married, have lots of kids and live happily ever after. Naive I know, but there is still that hope to find a true love.
Having been separated from my daughters father for near 7 years, I have tried living with one guy, dated a few and never made it to anything healthy and rewarding. For me, this is very frustrating
Insertion of an IUDMay 4th 2008 08:27
4 weeks ago I had an IUD inserted. After perusing contreaceptive methods at hand, I decided an IUD was the way to go. No pills, injections etc that gave me headaches or made me gain weight, just something besides abstinence that stopped me getting pregnant. Welcome to the rollercoaster.
The actual proceedure was as close to child birth as I can ever recall. I had to lie down for half an hour afterwards as I did not know if I would faint, vomit or just try and jump out of my own body. The pain and cramps that persisted over the next two to three weeks and now the depression I have been in for the last week, well I dont know
How much alcohol is too much?April 10th 2008 10:03
As a single mum, I don't get to many outlets. Work, child, housework, trying to make ends meet, that's my life. Social invitations come but lack of funds, mostly have to let them go. Got to keep my priorities right. Imagine my excitement then when pay day arrives and I can afford a few drinks and just let all my worries become `whatever.'
Having been on my own for over 6 years, I have met and experienced many alcohol fused experiences both with myself and friends/family. So how do you know when drinking becomes a problem
Jail For Cruel MumApril 10th 2008 08:07
I was stunned this week to read of a single mum in the UK who deliberately tricked her doctors into thinking her son was wheel chair bound.
Her son, now 11, was kept in a wheel chair for 5 years with the mother telling doctors he suffered fits, could not walk and needed medication. The doctors only learned of the truth when the mother accidently overdosed his medicine
More reforms with child support, woopdee doo!April 3rd 2008 13:28

Does this mean I might actually get some
Keep a relationship exciting with Dirty TalkApril 3rd 2008 08:51
My partner and i are very busy people who live a small distance from each other but find catching up sometimes difficult.
With the commitments of work, friends, family and children we may be lucky to catch up once a week
Saving money and time with ebayApril 3rd 2008 08:15
Today I embarked on my mission to get my daughter decked out for winter in warm but funky clothes for winter. I jumped on ebay and found a couple of listings of which she approved of and placed them on watch, noting the finishing times.
We went about doing our regular shopping, stopping at Kmart and Target along the way, but I couldn't justify the price and with only $60 max. to spare this week, I felt hopeful about our ebay sightings
