    Hi everyone. My name is Melissa, I'm 23 and I had my beautiful baby girl Lanie on December 2nd. My husband and I just split up. It was my choice, but i just can deal with the lying and cheating. I know it's hard to do it on your own but I think it will be better in the end. Any other single moms with little babies around?

    Hey my name is Melissa too and I am 24. It sounds like we might have similar stories. I left my stbx in June of last year. The divorce isn't final yet...and I don't know how long it will take, but I am now a single mom. We are splitting custody right now...but probably not for much longer. My son is 18 months old...but I remember when he was only a tiny little baby. There used to be a lot of girls on here when I first showed up a few months ago...but I haven't seen them aroud in a while. You can always PM me though or leave a message here...I check in pretty regularly.

    Nice to meet you! I havent filed for the divorce yet, just left him last week so I'm in for a long process. It's hard moving on and it was a tough decision to make but I feel 1000 pounds lighter with him off my shoulders. It's better to be alone than to feel like you have a 24 year old toddler for a husband. I wonder what happened to the other girls, I can tell this board is a little slow...

    The divorce part sucks... and it feels like it will never be over. I remember the feeling of making the decision...of knowing that I wasn't going to have to live with the lies and cheating anymore. But be prepared for waves of panic and sadness. It will hit you at the worst possible times...or at least it did for me. I understand the 24 year old toddler thing though...who needs an adult to have to take care of like a baby when you have an actual child that needs your attention.

    Hello to both Melissa's i'm learning to do this ok so bare with me.. My name is Blanca and I guess I'm a bit older than you I actually an 39 and remarried and very happy!!! I actually went thru a divorce and you go thru a lot of different feelings but you have taken a very hard step here in actually accepting there was a problem and you were not gonna stay in it and allow to be either cheated or lied too... Life is to short to have negative ugly feelings surround youthere is a little one that needs your attention and the negativity will drain you so you have done a positive move for you and baby... I wish you both strength!!! blanca

    Hi Melissa and welcome to the board!  I'm so glad to hear that you are so strong and did the right thing for yourself and your baby!  I'm sorry no one has been around!  We did get this place going again a while ago but then it got really slow so we all went over to the back up board and haven't been here since!  I will make a post over there that we have some ladies here again!  If you guys ever need to talk and no one is on here, you are welcome to PM me or check out the back up board, that one never gets slow and there are a lot more ladies there and we are sooooo close and its just a little more laid back.  I think AmyDiggory has posted the link on here recently.....

    Ok I'm back! YAY. lol.

     You should totally come over to the other board ladies. I stopped posting over here because it is public and I like to talk openly and well, sometimes you don't need all that stuff going around when babies and stupid men are involved :)

     Hi Mellissa!  Welcome to our little group...I extend the invitation to our home away from home our SMC (Single Mommas Club) Message board...We originally created it as a backup board for this one while PW was going through some maintenance about a year and a half ago, but we liked it so much because of a few reasons,

    1.) it's completely 100% private!  I've had my daughter's SD use things I've posted on PW against me, so the privacy factor on the other board is awesome!

    2.) it's uncensored.  Lets face it...everyone says "naughty" words from time to time...we dont let it get out of control or anything, but it really comes in handy on our Advice and venting board!

    3.) It's a small community, we dont constantly have new members joining because it's by invitation only and your account must be accepted by a moderator (it all has to do with the privacy!)

    4.) we've all BEEN THERE...seriously, you find a situation and I'm sure one or more of the members at SMC has been there done that and is able to offer advice or a shoulder to cry on!

    I sure hope that any and all single moms who see this message would come sign up for SMC and see what it's all about!  If you dont like it, there's absolutely no obligation to stay AND it's also 100% free!  Nobody will ask you for any money to post on our board!!!

    Here is the link, and I do hope you can find your way there!  CLICKY CLICKY
