Been split with ex partner for two years now. We have an eight year old daughter. The split was difficult to say the least. He wouldn't accept I wanted to leave. He made it far harder than it needed to be...
Main reason for our split was that he drank every day. This wasn't so bad on a week day after work but weekends drove me mad. He thought/thinks this is fine and its me that's unreasonable.
I can't shake the guilt. I feel sad that my daughter will grow up with two homes. She asked me last week why can't you and daddy love together. I know she misses him.
Sometimes I look at other women and think they put up and get on with it so why couldn't I ?
Am hoping this is just a phase and it will pass for me. I'm not considering going back to him just wish I didn't feel so shitty about it all..
Any words of advice mums netters ?
