I know this may sound a bit mad.
I am a single parent and have been for a year now. I earn reasonably well ish ( mid 30k range) and own my own home. I am starting to find my anxiety around money crippling.
My sins dad pays 75 a month and that's it, has him over night 1 weekend a month.
I find I worry a lot about it despite being relatively okay. No big holidays but a seaside trip once a year with the toddler and no debt. Eat out once a month and go out with friends but cheaper end activities and I rarely if ever buy new clothes. I save each month currently, although not as much as I'd like.
I literally can't sleep worrying what will happen if zyx happens, it's got worse recently due to the cost of living crisis and media attention. I'm up for a big promotion, where I binned the last interview for this level, and I'm very anxious about it due to feeling pressure as sole earner.
How do I get a grip on this anxiety? Is it normal for a single parnet to feel this?
