Is it weird to fear becoming a single parent?

I don't even have kids

No it is not. It is hard. I divorced when my daughter was 5 & went through periods of time when I thought I wasn’t going to make it, child care while working, work problems, problems with the ex & having to go back to court when she was a young teen, $ problems & her health problems...dealing with it without any emotional support from my ex.

@cherokeepatti yes that sounds very hard

@iamnikki there were evenings that I would go lay down in bed after dinner & cry...but I didn’t regret the divorce....too much chaos in the marriage

@cherokeepatti oh yes, anything better than a toxic house

@iamnikki I was getting sick so often the last few years of the marriage I thought if it continued I wouldn’t last long enough to raise my daughter.
