I am a 40 year old single mum with 2 dc's and divorced 7 years.
I won't bore you with the past 7 years but it's been a roller coaster. Many many financial difficulties. No input from the ex.
I am 2nd year into my nurse training and not only difficult, I don't even know if I'm enjoying it. O social life (I see noone) No time to exercise (I used to run to destress) 0 bank balance (no exaggeration my card just declined at the petrol station) juggling childcare and activities for them. I'm absolutely exhausted. I am counting my pennies to put fuel in my car and food on the table to help people with their mental health and today I question mine.
I am posting because I have come home after the embarrassment of no money to a list of ingredients my eldest Dd needs for cookery and my youngest swimming fee is due by Wednesday.
I just had an emotional breakdown in the shower because I have no shampoo! All minor minor things I know. Honestly encountered much much worse and had to face many obstacles but tonight....I have just literally sat down completely exhausted and thought 'what is this all for? What am I doing? Is this normal?'
Am I having a blip? In need of another kick up the arse dust yourself off telling off? Or am I actually havin a break down here?
Could do with a little chat on here with some kind folk if you wouldn't mind?
