I find that the hardest job in the world is being a parent. I love my daughter, but never know if I am doing enough.
She lived with her father from age 10 to 15 and is now living with me. I feel sad because I live in another state and she had to leave her friends, etc.
I have put her in ACT review classes and just enrolled her in a tennis class. I have also looked into jewelry making and cake decorating classes because she expressed an interest in them.
I want the best for her. Yet, I feel that pressure . from my ex-husband. I keep deleting the messages that he leaves me because they are ususally abusive and mean.
If she expresses any sadness or unhappiness, he gets upset with me. Also, if she does not get a good grade, I know that he will get upset with me. I am trying to help her as much as possible.
Its a very difficult job being a single parent, but I am trying my best.....Does anyone have any tips?
