So I finally decided to actually join the forum. I've poked my head in a couple times and looked around but finally decided to stop being such a wuss and join. I'm a bit nervous with new situations sometimes but considering the lack of community where I live, I figure it'll be nice to make some new friends here. I'm 29, have two kids from a previous marriage, and am currently dating the woman I've been in love with since before I got married to the kids' dad. It took her and I years to finally be together, with lots of heartache on both our parts, but we are finally where we are meant to be. Together. Life is interesting right now as we still all try and adjust to everything (I've been officially divorced for almost 7 months, she's been living with us for almost 5), and by all of us I mean her and I, the two kids, and my ex. My relationship with him ended horribly after a pretty horrible marriage and every day I am having to deal with him still trying to manipulate and control me by using our kids. My g/f hates him and what he did to me while we were married and she hates that he is still able to get to me the way he does. I don't like it either, but she is having a real hard time dealing with it lately. Anyway my main reason, like I mentioned, was there doesn't seem to be much of an lgbtq community where we live, we have only run into one other two mom family at the park (and only one time) and I'm really hoping to make some friends or at least talk to people with situations a little closer to mine. I look forward to meeting you all =).
Hello, and welcome. That sounds like quite a situation you're in... I unfortunately cannot offer any solid advice, personally. Still, though, I hope you find the comradery and company you hope to gain here =) We're here to support you, so let us know if there's anything we can do, or if there's anything you need to get off of your chest.
Hello MoonWillow! It is good to see that you joined these wonderful forums! I am glad that you took the step to end your fragmented marriage to be with the one person that you love. I hope that you can leave your manipulative ex husband and move away to your dreamland with your kids. Take advantage of this community, because people are here to answer your questions.
Welcome to EC... hmm... advice... mine is usually terrible.... buy a old house across from a gay hating church and paint it bright fuzzy colors like i said not great at advice but I can do funny well.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes, this really seems like just the type of place I've been looking for =).
Welcome. I am sorry to hear that you are still being hassled by your ex husband. This is always a hard situation as you still have the children in common. I hope that you find support here
