I don't take to heart too much of what people may say about me.

Only YOU know in your heart if you are walking and living your life in the way you should.

Hey Sister-


May I suggest the next book for your book club reading? How about "The Wenches of JudgementVille" or


maybe "How to Make Our Single Deviant Friends Feel Half an Inch Tall" ....but certainly they need to read "A Walk in My Shoes".


Sheez!! I would have been freaking livid. I would have just sat there an fumed on the inside. So much for trust, huh? They get you to share and then Wham...they judge you? How dare they! I'm ticked about that!


God, I would have had a really hard time holding my tongue. As single parents we judge ourselves hard enough...the LAST thing we need is society to judge us too. The phrase "broken family" kills me. Why can't society as a whole wake up and smell the coffee- there are generations of us- healthy, happy, moral, hard working, decent, family oriented singe parents.


I totally understand where you are coming from on the "sharing with IRL friends". I have had some similiar experiences. And the "friends" at your book club do not help to foster your trust, do they?


Moon- you're one of the strongest, kindest, most incedible parents I have ever "known" and that has nothing to so with your marital status!! You are you...and those who decide to judge you for whatever ridiculous close minded reason can go shove their long noses into someone else's book, like

LOL...ya so much for me and taking the high road! Guess I have my own issues with "lables" as well.


Have you read "She's Come Undone" By Wally Lamb? It would be GREAT for your book club!!
