[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband left when kids were vey young. No involvement. It wasn’t what I chose or envisioned, but I loved it. I made a commitment to give 150 percent to parenting so they never felt like they missed out on anything. It was hard, and exhausting, but it is the best thing I have ever done or experienced. I think I’m closer to my kids than traditional families. Tight knit. [/quote] Same here although I was never married. I think people don’t expect a kid like mine to do as well as a kid from an “intact” family but he’s doing the same as any other kid. He’s in college now. The hardest part by far is the financial stuff. His dad finished paying CS at age 18 so college has been a huge stretch. My DS understands this and he has an excellent work ethic. He had two summer jobs this past summer. [/quote]
