You are actually requesting a "forum" rather than a "thread". We once had a Single Moms forum which was combined into the current Special Concerns forum. It was a good forum and had a lot to offer. Unfortunately, it had very low traffic, which is why it was combined with others.

I am trying to come up with a way that we can support additional forums. At the moment, we get a lot of complaints that there are too many forums. Once we can organize things better, I am happy to revisit the idea of a forum for Separation and Divorce or Single Moms. One thing that I think kept traffic down was that single moms are simply too busy for DCUM. But, maybe now that DCUM has grown, there were be enough participants in the forum to keep traffic up.

I was wondering if you would consider having a separate Separation and Divorce thread? Anywhere from 30-50 percent of moms are divorced (acc'd to a recent DCUM thread!), and there is no real LOCAL online place for these moms to go - someplace just for them. Plus it would be a great resource for moms who are considering divorce, or dealing with something like infidelity.

Right now, it sort of seems hidden within the "Parenting - Special Concerns" category. I bet that if you dedicated a thread just for all these moms (including myself) it would grow FAST. It's really something that people need while they're going through this difficult time. And I bet moms who are already divorced would come back and give advice - sort of like a local survivinginfidelity.com.

Anyhow, just a thought. Thanks for considering it!
