So my ex and I separated last year and it's been very messy. We have 4 kids together 2 are adults and the youngest 2 live with me. He's disowned 3 out of 4 kids and has very little to do with the youngest,few messages here and there and has only seen youngest twice so far this year. We do not coparent at all
It was a DV relationship so there is no contact between us
I'm so beyond burnt out one of my kids is constantly trying to kill themselves with everything that has gone on, we have every single person involved you could think of to help.
My mental health has been really bad for the last few years but the situation I'm going through I'm finding it so hard to keep going each day. I have no family or friends to help I have nothing, I go to work come home have to try and help my kids accept what honestly on and go bed that's my life 24/7
I just really want to give up right now
I don't know what I was looking for from writing this but I just needed get everything out

Firstly - well done for getting out of the DV relationship!

It sounds as though you’re doing the right things, getting professionals involved, being there for the kids (the fact that he isn’t might not be a bad thing) reaching out for help on here.

You’ve taken one of the hardest steps in your life in getting away, so it’s no wonder you’re feeling burnt out now, even if everything else wasn’t piling on on top.

I don’t have any answers, but I hear you, and I always have so much respect for women who successfully get out of DV; even more so when you’ve got so little support.
