Intro (kinda)
I'm not new to the nest - just new to this screen name. I finally decided to make a new one to get rid of all the marriage posts and my husband's info off my profile - either it can't be done or I'm too ditzy to figure it out. In any case - here I am. I posted a few times on this board under my old name, but nothing that anyone would really remember.
I've been separated since March, my son and I have a little basement apartment in a single family house we call home. I live in VA and I work for the government. My ex is my son's Dad, but not his biological father (which hasn't been in the picture for over 8 years) He works a little bit of a crazy schedule and 90miles away, so we are still ironing out the visitation schedule. He wants to stay involved, and this is something I want too. Nothing really too dramatic in our separation except the ex, at times, wants to get back together. I am dating, and have found someone I get along with. I would say we are exclusive, but haven't really come out to the ex about it and certainly not my son yet.
I look forward to creating my new identity.
Re: Intro (kinda)
I have posted on here...but not very often. Mostly about things regarding child support.
I agree VA is not for lovers...although I did try to get those bumper stickers to hand out at my wedding. That was the big fad back then.
