Thumbs up for the divorced moms of the world!!Michael’s mom, a divorcee(assuming single parent as well) deserves lots of credit. I know how financially, emotionally and physically exhausting it is trying to be both that “super mom and dad.” Deb, you should be so very proud of yourself. I, myself am a single mom of 2 sons, one which is a senior at Penn State. I know too well how it is to struggle, as I am wondering how my son will pay for his books. Enjoy the financial blessings from his celebrity life, remember you raised your son to be who he his today. From one divorced, single mom to another, it’s nice to see one of our kind(struggling financially) finally, due to hard work and perserverance live a very comfortable, more relaxed life.

Hi Ms. Phelps: You do have alot to be proud of,
but, Michael needs to check him-self and start thinking about what he is doing as well. Whether he like’s it or not he is a role model to alot of young children. He needs to curb his drinking and think about how he is treating women, especially in Las Vegas. Some day he might want to get married, he needs to start thinking about the things he is doing and everyone is seeing it as well. Of course no one is perfect, but he could use some advice whether he wants to hear it or not. He has alot of sponsers backing him up for the olympics, but may lose some if he doesn’t watch him-self! Tell him to keep his pants on in the public eye (during commercials and tv shows) and have more respect for his body. He makes plenty of money he doesn’t need to do that. A concerned fan!
