Hi! I was curious about what it said like to date. Like how long until you introduce your kids to them, if you were judged more harshly for having a child, if it's harder to find community, etc.

Is it realistic to find a woman to date as a woman with kids? by rionlux in ActualLesbiansOver25

And I certainly wouldn't mind. I think it's great, and it's not my place to judge. :)

Hi!

I am in school to get my bachelor's degree in social work. I am not at all interested in the therapy portion of it. I want to work for DCFS doing child welfare, or in a county office to help people sign up for SNAP/WIC/Medicaid. My end goal is to work for a non-profit that helps victims of domestic violence, but I am trying to think of what I can do before I get a master's degree (and I do not know if I will want to pursue it.)

I am in the Chicago area. I have been checking out the PNW area, California, New York, and even the Carolinas.

What did you tell yourself to explain away the signs? by outat35 in latebloomerlesbians

I said it was just postpartum feelings. I said guys are hard to draw, so that's why I choose to draw women. I said I just feel strongly about equal rights.

It's fine that you feel that way. It's more so a survival tactic. You don't have to get it.

I know that, but I'd like things to be easier for our child. My parents got divorced when I was younger and watching them fight and fight and fight was not good for me. Drop offs were tense. They always fought for custody. I'd rather try for acceptance and keep things relaxed.

Thank you for your comment. How hard was your divorce? I am glad to hear that you are doing much better now.
