Tired of Being Sad

It has been over a year now since the separation and you would think that I could handle things better but still I find myself broken and sad minutes after Madalyn goes to her moms...

I know I will see her soon but I have never felt so attached to anything as I do my little girl. :-(

I am a single dad with an eight year old daughter also. I live in Boise. I know exactly what you are talking about. I have been divorce for about 5 years now and I dont experience the sadmess like I used to, but it is sometimes still there.

hey, thanks for taking the time to post your comment. I still have good days and bad days. The weekends are the worst when I don't have the kid. But life goes on and there is always tomorrow, right?

Any chance you are a whiz with a camera? I need a mentor...

Living Single – Feeling Left Out

Last night I attended a church meeting hoping to make some connections. Since my divorce a couple years ago I have struggled with making new contacts and friends. I have noticed that my patience for people has even diminished causing me to isolate myself more than normal. I guess I have lost confidence in others because of the divorce. To be honest I really didn’t pay much thought to it but recently I have begun to examine myself to see if I can figure out what is going on. The meeting was good but unfortunately the group was not what I was looking for. I was surrounded by people in their 20’s and/or families in their 30’s. As a single parent I really feel left out, even more so as a single dad. There seems to be a class or a group for single women but rarely for single dads. I would love a class like that! As a man living single is very hard. I really want to do what is right but I struggle with desires and female companionship. I often pray to God to help me be happy with where I am ...

Getting all the Breaks

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to catch a lot of breaks while others seem to always get passed by? Not that I have a hard life or am lacking but I have noticed that there are a few things I am constantly striving for that shouldn't be out of reach for some reason they continually slip through my fingers. For example: There is this young couple that bought tickets to win a home, they WON... several years later they bought a couple more and won again. Here I am trying to pay off debt so I can buy a home and it seems that there is one thing after another that is pushing farther and farther in debt. I am not trying to gripe but I wonder sometimes why some seem to have an easier go at life while others don't. Is it the past choices they made? I know when it comes to a good portion of my life if I would of listened to God and not married the woman I did my life would be much simpler, yet I would not have been blessed with the wonderful little girl that I have. And...

Getting Mad and Screwing Up

A surprising thing happened to me this past week, actually 2 things. The first is I had a date and found that I don't feel like I am ready to date. Why you might ask? since it is what I have been longing for. Well because I have grown very angry towards my ex recently. To the point where I said things to my little girl simply because she was there and said she wanted to go back to her mommy after I picked her up. Normally I can handle it but my ex has found a new boyfriend and I am so sick and tired of Madalyn seeing this. Yet I am completely helpless... so what do I do? I make my little girl cry because I am a raving lunatic. I guess between her mom and dad we should screw her up plenty. Am I jealous that my ex finds it easy to attract one guy after another? Maybe I am, I don't know. Personally I would be happy if I could feel comfortable with the current situation and get to know the woman God has for me. You would think being the father of the child I would feel M...
