I'm a mum of 3 ... Age 15 10 and 9..Seperated 5 years... Children have regular visits with their father & a close relationship.
He wasn't violent but treated me bad until I wised up... Our co parenting relationship has had ups and downs but we get on with it as best we can..
I work...have friends..great family..a home... But I'm (like a lot of people ) struggling money wise .. I pay all my bills a loan and a credit card...I've never had a red letter and never missed a payment...but once everything is paid I have very little left I just about manage shopping and petrol but absolutely nothing left for pleasure... Let alone a holiday or break away.
I'm struggling at the minute to see what the point of it all is... I've dated in the past but find most/all are liars or have hidden agendas...and have had a few awful experiences .I am not the type of woman who needs a man and am independent and I will not settle unless it's right.... Online dating is awful... I never go out as financially it's not doable so meeting somebody in that way isn't going to happen..I feel like I'm 39 and my dating life is done and I'll be alone forever.
I try to talk to my family but they are all married and have been a long time so don't understand how hard modern dating is.
I feel like all I do is get up ..take kids to school..work cook clean rinse and repeat...and in between there's nothing as finances put such restrictions on anything.
I feel like what is the point in it all? I'm overweight and unhappy but have no motivation or willpower to change it... I sleep a lot... I feel like I can't do this anymore I don't want to die&have never contemplated doing anything but don't want to live.....
