Our relationship should’ve ended months ago, but we have a 10 month old son and I didn’t want to be the one ‘taking the baby away’ (although I’d not be stopping any contact etc). Last night I’d decided enough was enough and I deserved more than being miserable.
Anyway, I’m bloody petrified of being a single mum! I’ve done my homework and know about the help I can get and it doesn’t seem as financially scary as I envisaged - although I’m not sure how accurate the figures from the Gingerbread helpline are and if they’re genuinely reflective of the help I’ll be getting.
I’m just scared I’ll be lonely as I live 20 miles from my friends and family but I know how lucky I am that they’re their and I’m in contact with them every day.
I think it’s just a fear of the unknown - especially since all I want to do is make my little boy the happiest he can be!
So please can you share the things you love about being a single parent? Xx
