I can't really relate to single parenting, but I am in the same boat when it comes to divorce and the wls way of life. If you want to talk sometime let me know.

I can totally relate to wls and single parenting... have done that all my son's life (he turns 15 today!). Just got married for the first time last October so hopefully no divorce but I'm pretty sure I can relate to the aspects of it!

I've got big ears too, if you ever need someone just to vent too!

I can only relate to the WLS part. I would love to be your friend. I am a good sounding board. You can also virtually stab me if it will make you feel better. Also a major plus, I am always on TT. My work hours are so wierd that I have tons of time here. PM me anytime.

That's very true, he is a good listener and he is always on

I'm not divorced and am pre-op but I can listen too!

I don't have kids of my own .. but I am live with my nieces and nephew and take care of them when my sister and her husband work ... I have been divorced for nearly 5 years and I've had WLS ... so I think we can commiserate

Julie - I have done the divorce, single parenting, and weight loss surgery things. I have remarried, so I'm not a single parent anymore, but I was there and I definitely remember how frustrating it can be. I'm on here off and on all day, so feel free to PM me if you need an ear, or a shoulder.
