So the past and present aren’t that different…

It’s funny isn’t it? The world goes around and around, and some people grow, others fall down, and others still get kicked down to the bottom. Lately I’ve gotten some e-mail from an old friend who I found out is now a single mother. *sigh* I swear, just when you think someone is doing well, everything turns upside down and backwards. Course, I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised, heck this type of thing has been going on for over a hundred years, and will continue for the next hundred I’m sure.

However, for those in a situation like this, there’s hope! See when searching for resources for my friend I was glad to see that thru all the smut, spam, and bullshit pages out there, there are actually GOOD sites that are helping folks each day. One such site I found is simply entitled Single Moms, and I’m glad to find that these type of communities exist. Sure, right now there isn’t much traffic on their website, but go, please, and check it out. They’ve really gone out of their way to setup a resource where people can talk freely about their issues with becoming a single parent, including special sections for issues like “Toddlers”, “Teenagers” and “The Ex”. Wow, if only these resources existed (in this easy of an accessible fashion) 10 years ago… who knows what might have changed.

Just thought I’d give an update as that was something that’s been on my mind lately thru all of the email conversations. Other than that, I’m doing well, and am going to post another article here in the next couple days on my current status, so stay tuned.
