5 Things Not to Say to Divorced Moms
Growing up as the daughter of a single mother, I swore I'd never be a single mom myself. My mother did her best, as I think most of us do, but I was well aware of the fact that her situation -- our situation -- was far from ideal. My mother worried about money, and with good reason (we were usually broke).

In my country mostly men work and the wife take care of the children disiblen them at home and help them with homework and to be the jowel of the house. when the husband comes home from work she is dressed nicely and she looks beautiful. That way the husband is attracted to his wife and love last and last for a long time. In the west when the men or the women is not satisfied with each other they go out of their bond to seek other lovers or what they call affairs. and that is what destroy families and homes.
I am a divorced Mum of three because my husband abused us. When I filed for divorce I was pregnant with my youngest. When she was 4 weeks old, he came to the house and beat me severely. I don't get days 'off', he's not allowed any contact with the kids. I think we are better off not having to deal with him.
You my dear, are part of the reason I would defend the payment system(not alimony, child support), and in these situations I would hope that they would (the courts) take his payments as a loan that he would then be paying off so that there would never be any need for contact or further court appearances either.
Actually if you have the guts to do it and want to risk maybe being a tad rude ..... which I think is okay since the questions are rude in the first place ..... I'd look the person straight in the eye, put a surprised expression on my face and say ..." Oh ..... why do you want to know that?" or " Oh. why are you asking?" Then let them deal with the inevitable embarrassed silence.
There is no shame in being a single mother. The problem is nowadays too many people are on their second and third divorce. I know someone who has four kids by three different fathers. I know another who is getting divorced after only 6 months of marriage. There should be shame in that. Marriage is sacred and you took a vow. Also all the young adults having children because they made a mistake one drunken night. So many kids are going to grow up without their father in the home and that is a shame.
You should judge less and filter more. You never know someone else's reasons behind their decisions or the backgrounds to their stories. I was married for only one month when I found out my husband had not one, but 2 girlfriends when we married, one of which even went to our wedding. I was married 2 months when he became verbally abusive. 3 months when I noticed that he had isolated me from my friends and family and found myself deleting the call logs on my house phone and home phone, so he wouldn't scream at me for calling my best friend or my dad. 4 months when his anger had become so physically explosive in a matter of months that I was afraid of him. 5 months when I left him. My family knew very little of all this. Am I ashamed I left him after "only" 5 months? No.
I have never been married but I am a single mother. So I get a lot of the same questions. For #5, that is a sore spot for me. I still 3 years later, go crazy if I go a long period without seeing my children.
Pamela, it doesn't get any better. For me it's 37 yrs later & I still hate not seeing mine for long periods. All part of being a mother & if you think that's bad, wait till it's been a week since you last saw your grand kids....LOL. Best part is, they don't like it any better than I do.
