mom89 replied: Awww I'm sure you'll be fine. Your doing the right thing!

kimberley replied: (((hugs))) you will be just fine. and you are not alone, you have Teagan . but i do understand how you feel. when my ex left i was terrified of what it would be like with 2 kids on my own... i am so glad i didn't let fear stop me. the adjustment period really wasn't that long (took me longer to get used to being with the ex lol). and i was very happy and proud of myself for doing it all on my own. i hope you settle in fast.

The good points...if you and your child wants cereal for dinner...go for it!

Road Trips...with DS2 (the older kids being at Dad's) , when he was a toddler, we would oftentimes just pile into the truck ( had a Blazer then) and head off somewhere for the day or weekend. One of my best trips was a few months after DS2 turned 2 and we lived in New Mexico. Just the two of us went to the Four Corners and camped along the San Juan River (we slept in the back of the truck) . On the way home we stopped at the Wild Animal Sanctuary. No schedule and no one to acct my time to. One time we went up to Jemenz where the Hot Springs are and hung out with all the other 'hippies' (but, I am one of those rare parents who never had their kids on any kind of a schedule.)

You can decorate your New Place anyway you want! If you live in an Apt and cannot really paint the walls, you can use fabric on the walls. It is so easy to do and comes off with absolutely no marks.

You are boss..which, yes, admitedly, can be a pain in the butt and very scary too! No One else to bounce ideas from and ALL of the responsibility/decisions fall on you.

One of my creedos that I lived by when single: You are stronger than you think you are.

I repeated that over and over and over (and had post it notes) until I actually felt it.

Good Luck.

ediep replied: good luck!! I'm sure it seems scary now, but you are going to be great! It may just take some time to get used to it. We are hear to chat if you feel lonely

MommyToAshley replied: I can imagine how scary it must be, especially with a child. But, you are a very strong woman, you have already proved that by making the tough decision to leave. Just keep in mind that you are doing what is best for you, and especially for Teagan.

As Edie said, we are here for you if you ever get lonely. Keep us posted on how the move goes.

momof2girls replied: I think you are doing the right thing, I think its better for you and the baby to be together without all that other stuff going on in your lives!

Good luck and keep us posted!

Kila replied: I don't think anyone likes change. But once you get used to it I think you will love it. Just be sure to give yourself adequate time to adjust to everything. Good luck!
