About Me

I am an middle-aged single parent of a teenage daughter who keeps me grounded and focused. I originally started this blog over eleven years ago during a time when Infidelity hit my life while living as an Expat in Greece. I found that writing through the pain really helped me in the healing process, not to mention, what I was writing back then really helped quite a few people who were going through the same thing as well.

Don’t let your past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become.

People say leave the past behind and more forward. It is one thing to leave the past in past but quite another when you have to live with it every day. Those who have been effected by infidelity and then became single parents after the fact, know exactly what I am talking about and are the only ones who can fully understand. For those of you who are interested on how it all began and the reason for starting this blog in the first place, click on the link below. It is a short version but is described more in detail in the early posts of this blog.

How it all began

Being a single mom 

It has been difficult over the years pulling my daughter from the only life she has ever known, away from the only family she has ever had and bringing her half way around the world with me back to my home country.  But it didn’t stop there. If the truth be known, I have a major flaw being a mom. I have been dragging my daughter around over the last few years because I cannot seem to stay in one place very long. I wouldn’t say I am running away from anything but I wouldn’t say I am running to anything either. It is just an itch I get that tells me its time to go.

We move around so much which causes my daughter to repeatedly ask me when are we moving again. One of my biggest fears is that she too will not be able to stay in one place too long when she becomes an adult with a family of her own. She already talks about leaving when she is 18 to travel the world. I wouldn’t put it past her either as she has the boarders open to her of 27 other countries.

I guess if there is anything good that has come out of this it would be my daughter has experienced different places and different people. I believe she has become a well rounded individual. It has been quite an experience for both of us but staying in one place is something I really need to work on.
