Hello, I am a (new to be single father) with two beautiful kids. Right now I am locked in a serious battle to keep the kids in school here. They love it here, I love it here, and the "opponent" hates this fact. But, I'm not here to air my dirty laundry.

Due to my current situation I am very isolated from others and have not had any time to meet people and develop friendships. I am not here for dating. I want to meet really nice people, either gender, just to talk to and to have adult conversations. And don't worry, I'm not looking for a therapist to dump on. Talking about, and doing, anything else would be a welcomed distraction for me. 

If any of you have been through what I am going through than you will no doubt understand where I'm coming from. It is a lonely, tough period where having quality friends can be the "make or break" difference. So make a difference and say hello. Let me know who you are and what you do. Maybe there is something I can help you with. That's what friends do!

Welcome!
 
The 'opponent' - I like that term. A much better word than one's I've used in the past. If you're looking for nice people, you've come to the right place. There are a few really good folk that frequent this site.
 
I went through that lonely, tough period 5 years ago. I left the security of a 23 year relationship and walked into a world of new beginnings. I completely started over from scratch in my 40's! It's lonely at first but I can guarantee it gets better and when everything is said and done you're left with a happier life. Sadly, my children are adults now. I miss having them at home but it allows me more time to travel. I have a son in his third year of med school and a daughter that will graduate from NVCC in 2009. God, do I feel old....

Hi there.  I am here to let you know that Frederick, as you know, is a great place to live and enjoy.  Lots of activities, etc.  Unfortunately, of late, I haven't had much time to partake.  I do empathize with your situation and being a mother of 2 adult girls, 2 adult stepsons, ( I am divorced) and 5 beautiful grandchildren,( started at 39 like Loretta Lynn, LOL).....I am more than happy to be here for you as a friend.  You can dump....maybe I will dump.  Friends are good... I welcome a chat with you. I am currently unemployed, looking desparately to get working again.  Long story.  I live with my youngest daughter, 2 granddaughters and one of my stepsons.  I am active with my high school alumni....sell Avon and YoungLiving products on the side.  Hopefully, I will be gainfully employed within the month...all savings are depleated so I'd better be....LOLToday, we just found out that my daughter's ex-husband's father and mother were in an accident on rte 15, not far from their house.  The dad was killed and mom is in shock trauma in Hagerstown.  I am here running interferance.  Let me hear from you soon......
