I know it's difficult but in what way? What are the main issues and how do you manage to overcome them?
I'm asking because I have thought about leaving my DP for a while now. I havent bothered to name change as I dont think anyone knows me in real life and I dont think I'm a regognised poster so it shouldnt be a problem.
The thing I'm not sure about is how unhappy I have to be to justify leaving my DP and seperating my DC from their dad? What if I change my mind/cant cope alone etc.....it's not a decision I can go back on.
DP isnt abusive....we just dont really get on. I feel as though my life is slipping away..I feel like an old woman and I'm only 32. I have no life really, no fun, no independence, no affection. I could go on and on.
I'm on antidepressants at the moment for PND. How do I know that it's not just the depression talking?
I suppose I'm wondering whether I would be better off on my own, happier.
