One About My Own Mom

SingleMom.com Team — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 15:30:28 +0000

So I wanted to write a piece about my Ma. The thing about being close to a writer is that it’s almost a given that at some point YOU will be written ABOUT. Awkward! Haha. But I try my best to write about others with the dignity, grace, and respect that I myself would like to be penned with. My […]

A Love Letter To My Daughters’ Step Mom

SingleMom.com Team — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 17:05:08 +0000

We met about eight years ago, give or take, but it seems so much longer ago than that, like worlds of time and seasons have passed and changed. You were the new woman in my daughters’ father’s life, and none too welcome on my behalf if I’m to be honest. I didn’t know you, I only knew the position you […]

I’m a mother of three, and as such, I have the birds eye view of the most talked about “birth order” scenarios ever. Eldest. Middle. Youngest. My eldest and middle are girls, two years apart. Eight years later came the baby, a boy. All of my children are vastly different than each other, yet each one eerily similar to me. […]

On Motherhood, Solitude, Anonymity, and The Ocean

SingleMom.com Team — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 16:15:50 +0000

I’m a creature of solitude. I’ve been so since I was a child, when I would happily shut myself in my room for hours, reading and writing to my heart’s content. Before I had children, when I was in my very young twenties, I traveled the country a lot, often times alone. I once drove myself from my home in […]

“The C Word”

SingleMom.com Team — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 15:15:29 +0000

It’s the dirtiest word in single motherhood. “Child Support.” If you look at the word simply, it means “Supporting Your Child”. But often times when heard, it takes on all kinds of other ugly misreadings. “Gold-digging”. “Entrapment”. “Control”. In a few instances, perhaps there’s some truth to that. But more often than not, it is nothing more than what it […]

Don’t Let Others Have The Power To Judge You

SingleMom.com Team — Tue, 09 May 2017 15:40:21 +0000

For too long I’ve let what my ex-husband and his new wife think about me bother me. All I wanted was for the kids to see us all get along and to bring them up in a peaceful and accepting environment. But it seemed that the more I tried the worst it got and as much as I tried to […]
