This is my first post. I'm not sure where to start. For now I, I'm curious if others find it hard to parent without your spouse. My H and I parented very well together, but I feel so lost going through this divorce that I'm struggling with how to parent without the support of my spouse. I have a well behaved 10 Y/O son. But it feels so awkward when he comes over. There are no kids he likes to play with here and I'm worried that he will come to dislike coming to mom's.

Hi @Piper22 - welcome to MSF My Support Forums. I am sorry that you are parenting without your spouse. Parenting even in a well balanced relationship can be challenging. Plus your son may not talk about it, but he may be heartbroken that his parents are not together anymore.
Maybe coming up with activities he likes might make visits there more interesting. Sports, museums, visiting relatives, doing things that support his hobbies. Only you can know what works for you and your son by sensing what he may be interested in and talking to him.

Welcome! So Sorry you're struggling! i think it is normal that you'd have some difficulty given that being a single parent is quite different from being a married parents i think. i agree with the wise and wonderful CANDC about trying to find some nice activities to do with him perhaps when he arrives there. Perhaps there are some other people near you with children whom may be willing to let their children play together. i am not sure if you have already tried that, i Apologize if you did. Hopefully things will improve really soon for everyone. Please do not give up. Hugs. Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Piper22, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
