Just having a sad evening. Sat watching my little one sleeping soundly and reflecting and it's hit me out of nowhere. I know plenty of people cope as single parents but thought of being the only one raising our child, making all the important decisions and doing it alone for a while has been like a punch in the gut tonight. He should be here with us. This is not the life I'd ever imagined for myself or my child. I'm sad but also so angry today at my husband for bringing a wrecking ball into our lives.



I have good family support for which I am immensely grateful, but it's just not the same as a partner who knows you inside and out. It's a lonely place to be.



sorry for the moan - I do feel I don't reply to others posts enough and I am sorry about that - sometimes I just don't have the mental strength to.

Hi,

It's OK to feel like this, it's totally normal and totally shit at the same time.

Don't worry about wat u post or weather u reply or not, we all no how draining this situation is. I am not always replying but sometimes that's because my phone plays up and I type something and it deletes it, and I just can't remember wat I won't so I give up.

I can't quite remember ur situation but if u r still in touch with ur oh u can still talk through the decisions, but ultimately wat u say goes, if not then I understand how this wasn't way u signed up for xxxx

It's totally ok to feel sad that the life you thought you had is no longer, it's bloody difficult to say the least. All you can do is be the best mum you can and that's all your little one needs to know.



the mixed feelings about the other person living them but also hating them for what they have done to the family/life we had planned. But it's ok plans change some times we can't take the direct route so we have to change our course. I think it's a hard thing to get over, take time for you and remember you are important x

It is such a shame that so many of us feel lonely. This is also what I find the hardest part. I have noone that understands what I am going through, excpet for you all lovely ladies.



So it does not matter how often you post we are all here with you. X
