I am a divorced mother of two beautiful little girls. I was born in Washington, D.C. to two pastor parents. We moved to Georgia when I was eleven years old, and I grew up there until I graduated high school. I went to a Christian college in Cleveland, TN, named Lee Univeristy. I met my kids father online when I was 24 years old. We met and immediately started dating,. We dated for four years before we got married. I was a 30-year-old virgin when I married their father. I was a good Christian girl. I really believed that we would be married forever because I waited to get married before I had sex. When their dad and I split, Daria was three years-old and Ella was only one. I moved back to Georgia a year after we separated to be close to my parents. I really needed the extra support. It was so hard raising two toddlers on my own. I needed some help!I actually moved in with them and lived there for a year before I bought my house. Daria is seven now, and Ella just turned five.I teach online high school ELA. It is pretty flexible, which allows me to be able to take and pick up my kids from school. I co-parent with their father and we have 50/50 joint-custody. This means that we get them each for a week and we meet on Sunday evenings for the "big swap." I always ask myself how did I end up here? Me and their dad were supposed to be the exception to the rule and survive the throes of marriage, but we didn't. I continually feel guilty when dealing with the girls because I feel like it's my fault that our family is not together any more. They ask me all the time when are their father and I getting back together,and it breaks my heart, each and every time. I started my MomDayze blogs/vlogs as a way to help cope with co-parenting and being a newly single mom. I wanted to get advice from people on how they dealt with the parenting issues that I was dealing with. It has been over two years now and I can see how much I have grown as a mom, an ex-wife, and as just a woman in general. Thanks so much for sharing this experience with me! :)
