About Debra Coleman
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions pertaining to: dating, raising babies & teens, job-related, unemployment, business opportunities, engagement, step-family issues, and other family relationships. I can also answer questions pertaining to Christian living in these particular areas. I cannot answer questions pertaining to homosexuality.

Experience
18 years as a single parent. My children are now 19, 9, 2, and 17 months. I have been married for almost 2 years, and have experience with blended families as well. I worked for Corporate America for 15 years before retiring to being a stay-at-home mom since 2008. I also have formed a business, so I know the challenges that comes with parenting, balancing a relationship and starting a business simultaneously.
