You are here:
I can answer any questions regarding being a single parent, such as: financial matters for people that are struggling, disciplinary roles, dealing with an absent second parent, behavioral issues (ADHD), marriage and divorce while being a single parent, dating, as well as how to manage being alone while raising your child(ren) and still being the best possible role model. I have 3 children and have been through everything with them. I cannot answer legal advice as far as divorce goes but I do have experience with divorce, adoption, and custody issues.
I have three children, 8, 5, and 1. I have raised all of my children alone and during that time I have become a homeowner and made the choice to go back to school, all without the help of anyone else but a very close friend. My 8 year old has severe ADHD which has been a learning experience and I have gained the knowledge needed in dealing with schools and doctors so that his education and wellbeing comes first, NOT his disorder.
I am currently enrolled in school as a Medical Administrator. I have taken courses in child psychology as well as worked with individuals with mental disabilities.
Every day with children is a learning experience and as I go through the daily trials and tribulations associated with being a mom, I hope to pass my learning and struggles on to others.

Hi, June. I don't imagine what the girls are doing is harmful but I am not a doctor so that is my personal opinion only. If you fear for their health, ask an OB/GYN about the risks and/or consequences
Chris, I am sorry for the late response, I never received the original question. Let me start by saying I am very sorry for what you are going through right now. We try so hard to shelter our children
I am quite surprised that your lawyer would say you should be happy with one day a week because it is in the best interest of the child to have a constant relationship with both parents. My suggestion
It sounds to me like your son is experiencing difficulties due to the change in school. You might need to dig deeper and investigate what could be happening at school, he might be getting bullied or is
