How do I just 'suck this up' as they say?

My ex left me three years ago for another woman. Since then I have been raising our 3 children on less than £20,000 a year, working all the hours I can and am on my knees broke.

Yes he pays maintenance and he does see them, but I really don't know how to come to terms with the fact that he is now living the life of Riley and I feel like my 'life' ha been stolen by someone else.

They go on 2 holidays a year, the last one you went on was my lifetime dream holiday. They drive nice cars clearly seem to be utterly loved up and I feel utterly rubbish. I've not met anyone else I don't know how to meet new people as all my friends are married or I relationships.

I know I'm being unreasonable and sorry for myself but it seems just a bit crap really. How do I suck it up and not let it get to me?

Your married friends will also have other friends who may well be single.. that is by far the easiest way to get to know new people.

Make a plan of action. It is not going to make any difference dwelling on the past, you have to start shaping your future.

You can do it! :)
