[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a single mom for a while, now remarried (after four years as a single mom). For me: The financial hardship - this was pronounced for me as I was a trailing spouse overseas and a SAHM who had to find FT work right after relocating back to the US (with a toddler and a baby, so exorbitant childcare costs). I am still paying the price for this via a bankruptcy. The perception, which went along with the newfound poverty. People are judgmental, especially women who don’t want you around their husbands, who they just know you’re trying to steal away from them. And you’re “easy.” (I was young, thin, and cute which didn’t help.) Dating was actually fine, as fine as can be in this era. Mostly though just the lack of any support (I was broke and had no family help which exacerbated this feeling). No margin for error and absolutely everything fell on me - their dad was a day’s travel away.[/quote] How old were you? [/quote]
