Hi all - just writing for a moan really. First birthday since ex left the family home. Just feel a bit low. Have 2 young DS (6 and 4) - DS7 made me a card. Tbf ex did take them shopping and bought them present to give me - which are toys for themselves.
I guess I just wanted something from them that I could keep - so a card from my youngest and even something totally crap/small from them as a gift. Actually just a card each.
I guess I feel worse as my mum helps my sister who is a single parent extensively and always makes sure my neiece has got her something and done a card. She was down here last weekend (1st time since my ex left) - I don’t know I just thought she might have helped them.
I know it doesn’t really matter and I’ll feel fine in 10 minutes. I guess it just makes me realise how on my own I am - mum and sister didn’t send anything either.
