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

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.

parenting isn't easy. It's an ongoing journey that's filled with ups and downs. As parents, we often need to learn from our mistakes, forgive ourselves, and move on. These parenting tips for hard times can help lift you up in those moments when you're feeling overwhelmed. Give yourself some slack and remember that those challenging moments won't last forever. Parenting means putting your child above everything else in the universe. It's not easy, but somehow parents do it.
Very well said! Parenting is a journey. Parenting is something that will teach you something new everyday. Patience and love makes the journey of parenting easier

I have gone through my child's death because of premature delivery. My husband is blaming me for that and taking a divorce from me. My all inlaws are against me. After marriage my husband and in laws started mentally torturing me .Nowadays I am dealing with lots of depression and stress. I am suffering sleepless nights. Please help me. How can I overcome the depression and stress caused by my husband blaming me for our child's premature death and my in-laws' mental torture, while dealing with sleepless nights and the threat of divorce?
I'm deeply sorry to hear about the immense pain and suffering you're experiencing. t’s crucial to prioritize your mental health and well-being during this incredibly time.Establish a strong support system by reaching out to friends or family members who can offer emotional support, and consult with a lawyer to understand your rights regarding the divorce and potential legal support against the mental torture.Set clear boundaries by limiting contact with people contributing to this stress and create a comforting space for yourself, focus on future,small achievable goals.Prioritize self-care by creating a calming bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality,Incorporate mindfulness meditation and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to manage stress.Journaling your thoughts and feelings can be therapeutic, and practicing daily gratitude can help shift your focus towards positive aspects of your life. Pl remember healing takes time and you deserve compassion. Stay strong
First of all, please inform your family about what all is happening to you in your husband's home.. please don't hide anything. Mental stress is always fatal for the baby in the womb. How insanely toxic are the people who were troubling you even during the time of pregnancy. Also, your first focus should be you now. Please dont lose yourself in pleasing others. Make your husband understand in the presence of your Folks. And take a final decision. Never settle in the home where you fail to get basic respect. Life is not just about a toxic marriage.

So sad I went for a movie with my son and when I came home I had my husband not eating food and calling me names. Just because I went out for a movie with my son . Does it happen with u - how do u deal with it

It's okay to go and enjoy with your children especially when your partner doesn't have time. You don't have to restrict yourself just because your partner doesn't have time for you!

He might also wanted to go with you both and must be calling you names out of jealousy as he missed all the fun with his family 🥰

طفلي عمره 6 سنوات لديه صعوبة في التركيز في الدراسة، ويحب الآيباد والألعاب ولديه مشاكل في اللغة المذكر والمؤنث وتفكيره كله في البيوت وشديد الذكاء بالاكترونيات وأسمائها وأنواعها طريقة تفكيره...
أهلاً بيكي محتاجه تحددي وقت معين ومحدود للشاشات لإنها بتأثر سلباً علي تركيزه ،وتقدري تشتركيله في برامج البرمجة عشان تستغلي قدراته وتوظفيها صح ،بالنسبة للغة محتاجة أعرف اللغات اللي في المحيط بتاعه (البيت -المدرسة والمجتمع) كام لغة وهل إتأخر في الكلام وللا إتكلم طبيعي ؟والتفاعلات الإجتماعية في حياته أخبارها إيه؟
اهلا وسهلا بيكي خلينا ندور علي حاجات يحب يعملها غير الشاشات لان دا بياثر سلبي عليهم وبيزود تشتتهم لكن ممكن نديله لعب بازل بقطع قليله بعدين نكبر اديله الاوامر واحدة واحدة واعمليله روتين بسيط اوي ومتتخضيش لما يكون بيحب الحاجة وعكسها اهلا بيكي ♥️

Hey. I have had a doubt for sometime now. I always saw my parents as not one. like fighting and all. it was very rare that they both are on the same page. I wanted to know if we live together before marriage can we avoid these kinds of misunderstandings or conflicts after marriage. So like Is living together before marriage a bad idea or an okay one?

Living together absolutely doesnt guarantee marriage's success
Living together doesn't guarantee the success of your marriage. Infact even when u live in you will face conflicts, misunderstandings, however it will help you both in understanding each other and make your bond stronger.
