I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling lonely today when we're on our own as a single parent. It's so hard and I hate feeling like this, not just for me but for my son too. I don't have any family nearby as they live 80 miles away. We very rarely get invited to anything so normally it's just the two of us at weekends and it's very lonely. We don't have many friends (I don't get a lot of time to go out socialising) and we live in a small village where there's not a lot happening and somehow we get treated like the plaque by other families who are coupled up....there's so much stigma around still and not enough support for single parents. I work full time to support us both but it's tough. I'm not happy and ready to just pack up a move back to Yorkshire, I've had enough.
