Single Parent Community
Hi Everyone, I am relatively new to single parenting of a 9 year old boy and struggle with doing this alone without any family close by. I am wondering if there is a way to build better support within our own community for other single parents struggling with the same problems. If there is a way for us to do this, I am open to chatting and suggestions!! Whether it’s a group get together, help with child care, communal dinners, carpooling etc. Please feel free to reach out if you are a single parent interested in building better community for us and our children in Berkeley!

KP!
I believe you have answered my prayers!!!!!! I have a 6 year old. I am a solo parent and I have NO ONE nearby. My ex husband is abusive and torments us daily. He lives in Chicago thank goodness but that also means I have zero time to be an adult person. I have posted messages here more than once looking for other solo parents to no avail. I've joined apps, e.g., Frolo, but also haven't found anything. And frankly, I feel very stigmatized as a solo parent here in the Bay area, at least in Berkeley proper.
Anyway, would love to connect with you. My name is Tina Sacks and my son is Benicio.
All the best.
love this~ i will be newly divorced by next year but truth be told have been it alone for some time now. We have a great support community at my kids school but happy to bounce ideas!
