Took my mom and son to Seaquest in lynchburg. Fun road trip, but I've been thinking about trying to get out of the house and do grown up stuff.

I've been a single dad for about three years now. I have done a lot of work to get the kiddo and I stable, but I find that I have no real social network of any kind. Rebuilding after divorce sucks, especially when you're the responsible one. Any other single parents want to get together and talk trash about our exes? I got a doozie!

Speaking from experience, it is very hard work after a divorce. I’ve been divorced for about six years now, and still have things pop up now and then with my sons. My advice would be to try very hard not to speak ill of your ex in front of your son, and do the shit talking with friends privately instead. Some days I bite my tongue harder than others, some days I fail, but the effort is worth it for your son’s sake. Wishing you so much good luck as you navigate this new normal with your son. He’s lucky to have a responsible parent looking out for him!
