Ok not really, I am actually delighted I can
I have a voluntary job which is lovely and supportive and have told me I'm not to come in and to go again a second time
The school obviously does 2 shows - to help out working and split parents to go to the most convenient performance- very considerate
But my sons dad is an arse who wouldn't go if he could
So I had a tearful child that nobody would go today for him as I was planning to work
But once I find paid employment I won't be likely to have such support and will need to take leave for things like this or disappoint my son
I'm feeling really scared about that and a bit broken at how gutted my son felt.
Parents in my position... does it get easier? How do you manage it emotionally?
Feel like such a wimp today as I am delighted I'm going twice but simply fearful of all the times that this will cause a problem in the future and I've burst into tears myself over it
Once upon a time his dad could be arsed but since we split he's not interested in his son and even if he did a U turn the school would probably be uncomfortable with him turning up after things they've been aware of that he has done. As much as he doesn't want contact, even if he did I'm not sure he would be granted it easily.
