[quote=Anonymous]You are doing very well. I'd make a suggestion though. Try to find some single moms of modest means with whom you can become friends. It would be good, though not essential, if they had kids about the same age as your son.

There will always be people who have more than you do. There will always be some who have less. What you would benefit from right now is knowing some other single moms who are in roughly the same place as you are. They exist--even on Capitol Hill.

There are several single moms groups in the DC area. I am not familiar with them, but maybe some others are. I'm not talking about Parents Without Partners (or at least the chapters I'm familiar with) where people are trying to find a new mate. I just mean a group of single moms. Maybe you could ask someone involved in the PTO at your son's school if they know of other single moms in the parent body.

Your son shouldn't grow up thinking he's poor. He isn't. It might help both your son and you if you socialized with some folks with similar finances. I'm NOT suggesting that you only become friends with families like this--only that it would do you both good to have some friends like this.
