New Life as a Single Work at Home Mom

Kristie TI want to apologize for being away for so long, but it’s been a really tough summer here. Turns out that I will now be joining the ranks of divorced work at home moms. This summer I filed for divorce. My ex is a really great guy, we had been married for 14 years and basically grew apart. We tried counseling for about a year and weren’t able to put the pieces together. I am so thankful we are able to remain good friends thru this all.

So now I am on my own. I am excited for this chance to create a life of my own design. Now I have a chance to pursue hobbies, personal interests, and live a truly authentic life. It’s really funny, for the past 10 years I spent so much of my life helping others to create a life they love with their own work at home business. Now it’s time for me to focus that energy on creating a life I love for my kids and myself.

I am doing great. Just learning how to enjoy time being alone. I am a pretty social person. I am trying to stay connected to friends and sticking close to church for support.

I am so thankful for the many friends I have made online. I truly have developed a wonderful sisterhood and network of friends on the internet. Thanks so much to all of you for your love and support. I truly feel loved.

I am so thankful for my online businesses. I am truly blessed to have passive income that has provided for my kids during this difficult time.

Mostly, I want you to know why I have been away. Also, I know there are a lot of divorced and single work at home moms in our Webmomz community. I am gaining a new understanding for your courage, tenacity, and what you do to be there for your kids and put food on the table with your at home businesses.

Are you a single or divorced work at home mom? Have you gone thru a divorce and learned how to support the kids on your own? What have you learned about yourself in the process?

The pain we suffer in life allows us to transform, to grow, and be more than we were before. Let’s share together our experiences and be stronger, bolder, braver women for ourselves and our families.

With much love,

Kristie T

    Kristie,

    Here I was just searching for some people to swap a URL with and I cam across you. I am very sorry to hear about your situation. There are truly many great guys out there, but sometimes they are not the right great guy for you (girl in my case but you know). I am not sure if you are a praying woman, but I will pray that the Lord Jesus Christ steps in and assist with your situation. I have never been in your shoes, but I do know some folks who have and it has been a difficult transition so I would recommend that you realize this will be hard and seek help before you think you “need” it.

    May the Lord bless you and draw you to Himself

    In Christ Alone

    Kristie,
    I too am sorry to hear of your tough times, although I have to reiterate what Wendy said. Also take from it all of the things you have learnt. Use them to rebuild and be happy for the time and experiences you shared.
    As you well know we have choices in life, some people get busy living, and some get busy dieing.

    The end of a marriage is pretty traumatic, you have my sympathy. However, life goes on and you seem pretty resourceful. Now you can be the crafter and have the kind of life you ultimately desire. Go for it with God’s help…

    Kristie,

    I’m sorry to hear about your divorce. It sounds like that you see it as a door to self-transformation and new realizations too so that is wonderful. You also are not bitter or angry which is great because your heart is open.

    Hi Kristie,

    I was wondering what was going on when your email frequency dropped. So sorry to hear about your divorce. Jeannie Rule has a site at http://www.solomama.com that offers fabulous, nurturing resources, and Jeannie is just beautiful, inspiring, and an example of a solo mama who is living the life uncommon. She and I met at a Working with Power Retreat, and I was inspired by her energy ,commitment, and her passion for her service to others. I hope you visit her site and see what she has brewing. I think you might find her message to be very welcome right about now. Best wishes to you.

    Hi Kristie, I can’t believe I’m so late to read this and I want to say I’m sorry about the divorce but also happy you have the opportunity to design a life you truly love.

    Not sure if you know but I’m also a single mom now for four years. Sounds like you’re doing well from your newest posts so that’s awesome and I hope to talk to you soon!

    Take Care :)
