I am a single parent of a teenage daughter. I have been divorced since 2019 and single since 2017. I restarted my career at the age of 40 when I separated. I moved with my 10 year old kiddo to a new city with new lifestyle. Life was tough but with proper support and determination, I could turn around my life. I am still work in progress and healing from what I went through. So, I want to open this forum for all single women who need support, love and a space of non-judgmental sharing. Let us build a community of understanding and togetherness. YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE(YANAA) Cheers, Sandhyaa S Pillai

What are effective strategies for co-parenting after divorce ? @Singleparent Diaries 💕
could you pls explain effective parenting? what is the outcome you are expecting? for me co-parenting was to ensure my daughter gets the parenting from both sides and have a holistic approach to her life. it was about her freedom to choose too. so we both ( I and my ex) set some rules from the beginning. i have to been her primary guardian for major decisions in life and he has been the financial guardian. having said that ...we both are well informed of all her life decisions and take permissions from each other when it comes to her well -being. we are respectful of each other's expectations as a parent

I'm a new mother struggling with feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm. How can I find support and confidence in my parenting journey? @Singleparent Diaries 💕

Hi, this is Juhi. How can I balance work responsibilities and parenting duties effectively as a single parent? @Singleparent Diaries 💕
Hi Juhi, Work life balance is a myth. Prioritising your life is important . Most important to start with is to have ME time for yourself. this helps us sort things in our head and see a clear picture. You could look at your schedule and consciously keep two days to spend quality time having conversations with kids depending on their age. Sometimes we confuse quality time with watching movies and going to mall. those are good but spending time with them knowing their thoughts process...their idea about their future is quality time. keep an outing once every two months to engage with them better. It does not have to expensive holidays. It can be simple things like camping, trekking or nature walk. Hope this helps .

Hi, @Singleparent Diaries 💕 this is Kajal. After going through divorce 3 years ago, I'm not able to date anyone. I don't understand why I'm not getting attracted towards anyone. I really want someone to be with me. What are some effective strategies for dating again after going through a divorce?
wow! I am happy to hear you are willing to date again. If you are not attracted to anyone, it is fine. trust your instincts ☺️ Also it is a good idea to write down what exact qualities are you looking for in your partner. This helps manifest the right person for you. Otherwise sometimes we end up choosing the wrong person in desperation. Network actively in single parents community and meet more people which opens your options.
Answer
What steps can I take to protect myself and my children from abusive family members? @Singleparent Diaries 💕
I can understand having abusive family members could be challenging. Can you pls elaborate so that I understand abuse in detail. i can share my thoughts accordingly
Answer
I recently got out of an abusive marriage. I don't regret my decision but the only thing that is disturbing me is my child. I want to support them fully but I don't know how to fill the gap of their father. How do I ensure my children feel supported and loved during and after a divorce? @Singleparent Diaries 💕
I don't think we can fill the gap of a father. It could be taxing if we try to play both the roles. They feel loved and cared for when we listen to them, show them the strength that we will work this out.Most children love to see strong moms. Having said that, having more open conversations with them helps you emote too and they see the softer version of you too. Let them know their life would be a bit different but definitely more healthy as they are not in an abusive environment. Join single parents communities in your city to meet more alike families.

Being a single parent is hard my son wanted to go and school trip that costs 4k and I can barely afford to send him to that school. I feel so helpless when I can't give him the world. what should I do? @Saannjh
You can find someone else. I'm not saying that marry someone who is rich or for the sake of money. But if u do so then it will provide support to you as well as ur child.

I am Feeling Cluttered in mind. I am a Single mother of a 12 yr old boy. No much financial support from either from parents or in-laws, I am feeling stuck and lonely. not able to decide whether to concentrate on personal life or professional life. Had a abusive marriage so scared of getting married again. Coming to professional life, I am 40 now, and have been freelancing into several things in Education sector for past 10 years: Business Development for Educational Products, trainings, content proof reading etc. But it's a hand to mouth situation . But freelancing for so many years, Now dont feel like taking a full time job and work under someone. i feel drained out of energy and badly want to take a break but Financially I am not settled yet. stress is taking a toll on my health. I had to undergo on my left knee for ligament and meniscus tear, so continously standing for long or taking too many stairs is a challenge I face. I have put on a lot of weight as well. i want a companion with no physical expectations from his side but hard to find one ... I dont know what to do, where to go ...whom to discuss with
hi, I understand your challenges. do you want to focus on one problem areas. that will help you sort it with ease. pls feel free to reach out on personal chat
