There is so much out there for single parents that you would not believe there are grants for college and much more. I wish you the best of luck and congrads on the twins boys.Please don't let him think that you can't make it w/out him because You CAN! |
I'm sorry that you had to go through that with your ex, but it's so awesome that everything turned out okay.
There really are a TON of options for single parents. Plus, would you want your twins growing up seeing the arguing and abuse day in and day out? It's your decision, but if he continues to act this way to you, it's my opinion that you should leave.
Good luck girlie!
