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

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
