This group is open to anybody, male or female, going through divorce, separation or, in general, through a challenging breakup.  People find it hard to make the first step to come to a meeting and often comment afterwards how they had wished they came months ago.  We generally function as an open forum where people can vent their feelings and frustrations, ask questions of each other and generally share their commonalities.  You are not the only one who feels like this. Our members are of all ag …

I started this group since I didn’t see a meetup group for single dads specifically. Dads need a group to provide support and make new friends. I know I do. Let’s make this a group that actually meets up. We can just meet up at a local bar, someone’s house, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe even plan an activity or two. I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

Being a single parent isn't easy...having a group of friends in a similar situation can be a godsend, especially for those who do not know many others in the area. This is not a dating group, but instead a group who understands the special challenges (and joys!) that come with being a solo parent ... and who support one another and share our experiences. By "single" parent it doesn't mean you cannot be dating someone lol ... it does mean that you may be divorced, separated or otherwise caring fo …

As a career-oriented gal dating a divorced Dad of 3 for about a year, I know I have had my share of ups and downs and found myself wondering if anyone else in Chicago would benefit from the formation of a support group. I've read great books on being a Stepmom, etc., but nothing can replace the presence of warm bodies and real support. I have searched and have not found what I'm looking for within the city limits. Therefore, my goal here at Meetup.com is to create a group of women who share this …
