• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

So I sat on my coach, stood up, paced up and down, then sat down again. I felt like crying, but I wasn't sure why? I looked at my little one, and felt like crying a little harder. Was I making the wrong choice? Was I really liberated? It was on a chilly morning, when I sent the last message to the father of my little angel that it was over. I wanted to call it off because I felt I had had enough. I was busy preaching the gospel that my life was to be a celibate Christian, the LORD seemed to work on me throughout the night using dreams. Perhaps, to confirm if I was on the wrong path or the best path of my life. "Hah, it is funny that I wouldn't let this God's child into my life even in my wildest dreams." It is funny that tears still well up in my eyes maybe because it finally dawned on me that I would be practicing celibacy for the better part of my life. All I know is that I'm too happy to believe that I finally reached where I thought I should be or perhaps where my GOD destined me to live. All the same, tears still well-up in my eyes!!!

Single parenting is hard. Did it for two weeks. I was exhausted and happy that daddy was home. Here you have 'em! Good luck!
Mom why did you and daddy divorce? Oh your mom was temporarily nuts and the devil broke it up. Who cares?
Dad can't you marry two wives, mom too? No sweety that's a bit weird. Lol.
So stupid to divorce when you have to see each other 4 times a week for the next 18 years for the kids. Oh well. I sometimes wonder how on earth these real single moms with 3 or 4 kids and no dad in the picture do it.

Been there. Single dad of four in the conservative south. It's a lot of work, it's exhausting. I did get to do things with my kids many dads don't, like taking my girls prom shopping.
