having been a single mother for most of my life, i am finding myself at a loss in the here and now.  am i alone?? i doubt it. 

where are all you other single mothers who did not get child support and/or alimony(what is that?) while you struggled to get your kids raised?  i have no retirement and forget savings, everytime kids need something there it went.

i don't think i am angry anymore, but i am at a loss now.  i am in a new area and the job market sucks! and i am having a difficult time at the age of 59.  i am feeling defeated...  i am too young for social security and when i am not, it will not be enough to live on.  after struggling to keep up my health benefits for the last few years, i have finally let them go.

do any of you have suggestions??  how do you keep up at this age and still single?
