Hey there! So I just wanted to introduce myself...I've been lurking a bit and kind of looking for a place to fit in and people who can understand my frustrations.
My divorce has been final for 2 months. My ex was emotionally abusive...it took me five years of chalking it up to him just being an a**hole to realize it. He had been overseas since October of last year...and came here in August for a week to see our daughter and it completely tore me apart. Having to be around him again brought it all back...I was a complete and utter mess when he left. But it also made me realize how strong I am and how much better off I am without him.
My daughter turns three tomorrow. And honestly there are days where I just want to lock my door and hide. She defies me every step of the way and does things just because she knows she is not supposed to. I know that's typical three year old behavior. But doing this all on my own...just get's exhausting and overwhelming. I feel like I'm always screaming or trying to keep my emotions in check so she doesn't feed off of it. *sigh* Married friends with kids my daughters age say "oh I know exactly how you feel." .... :-| maybe...but I doubt it. My closest family is 18+ hours away. I have very little help. Uggg.
Ok...pity party over *whips out big girl panties* :drink: So...hello hopefully you all don't mind me hanging out a bit.

Welcome! As part of the initiation there is a questionnaire that you need to fill out.
1) How old are you? 2) What area of the country do you live in? 3) How familiar are you with use of snark? 4) Who is your favorite trainwreck? 5) Describe your feelings towards starbursts.
If you could have this completed in the next 24 hours that would be awesome...mmkay?

oooo questionnaires are always fun
1) How old are you? 24 2) What area of the country do you live in? smack dab in the middle 3) How familiar are you with use of snark? snark is great. I don't get my panties in a wad if someone is a smartass if that's what you mean 4) Who is your favorite trainwreck? favorite trainwreck? I'd have to go with Lindsey Lohan...what a mess. But damn it do I love Parent Trap 5) Describe your feelings towards starbursts. Hmmm....I think that only the lemon and orange ones are worth eating and everything else is a waste. Especially the weird specialty flavor crap.

Oh haha I don't think I've lurked long enough to pick out a trainwreck on SO! I'll have to get back to you on that one.
And thanks for overlooking my horrible taste...You can have my reds and pinks. You just pass over your yellows and oranges and I think we'll get along just fine.

Ohh...I like you even more now. Damn, you are good!! Love my pups! I highly recommend adopting from a shelter instead of going through a breeder. Save a life!
Welcome! We used to post together on TN on MN. I can't believe your daughter is already 3! And I remember some stories about your XH and I I'm glad you finally got out. I absolutely dread running into my XH so I can't imagine having to deal with him with your daughter. I'd be a mess as well specially come from an emotionally abusive relationship. Oh and I call dibs on the pink starburst. They are the best ones!
Hi! It is hard doing it alone with a young child. If you can, get a babysitter once in a while to give yourself a break. Well worth the money. I have a 4 year old and a 17 month old and I am on my own. So I understand how you feel.

-have you dated at all? I have gone on a couple random first dates here and there. Nothing serious and nothing that's stuck. -what are your hobbies? Hmmm hobbies. Running is a MAJOR hobby right now. Other than that: reading, cooking, going to the zoo with the kiddo, and lighting stuff on fire. I'm kind of a pyro :-D -do you like country music? Yes. I grew up on it. But it's not all I like. I'm pretty eclectic.

And I definitely plan on going through a rescue/shelter. I don't even really have my heart set on one particular bread. I have a few picked out in my mind, but it's really whatever needs me the most. That sounds lame but I'm pretty sure I'd come home with ten dogs if I didn't already have a three year old 8-D
