I am in my 2nd year of becoming a nurse and found out this evening H has slept with someone else

I'm heartbroken. And concentrating on really irrational things for now, such as my career

I won't be able to continue my course. I do night shifts and long days. I won't have the childcare to cover that

What a disaster. How could he do this to me and DS?

Poor DS. Sadly he won't be seeing much of his dad anymore accept weekends

I’m very sorry to hear this OP, but why does it mean you can’t keep training?

Presumably he looks after your son now? Why wouldn’t he carry on?

You need to make sure he does carry on, the last thing you need is to loose your career.

How old is your boy? If he's under 4, could you defer until he's at school, then take the course up again then?

Maybe have a frank discussion with your ex's mum - however "golden" she believes her son to be, she might still want some sort of relationship with her grandson.

It is unfortunate for your son - of course it is - but sounds like you really love and care about him, and do right by him, so he will be okay with you in his corner x

Thank you x

My son is 6, sadly he's at school. Sadly for me, not him! He loves it there

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this 💐 My single parent friend recently completed her nursing degree & was given daytime placements. I really hope they can do the same for you. You should be eligible for a childcare grant too. She was also awarded a bursary from the hardship fund. If the worst comes to the worst perhaps you could defer completing your course until you are sorted? Right now you must be so shocked & panicking. I feel for you and really hope your uni can support you to complete the course.

I just read your update.. I can see why you are worried but if he’s at his mum’s that should make doing nights easier.

I’d absolutely involve her, go round and say what you need.

Why would him being at his mums make nighttime's easier? Blush sorry I don't want to be rude, just curious as nights will now be hardest really as DS needs his stuff and set up at home so sleeping at his nans isn't an option
