Am becoming bitter

[MeAndMyGirl]

just sounding off. dd is 6 in may and been lone parent since she was 2. time has gone by so quickly and had a pretty horrible divorce with court for 3 years. trying to put it all behind me but have become to realise am never going to be the person i was before dd's dad. i seem to have lost my mojo and instead have a such a lot of anger that i have fucked up my life. Does anyone else feel like this?? I know rationally I should be grateful for what I have blah blah blah but I am bitter about how life has turned out. i love my dd dearly but sometimes the sheer crappiness and weariness of the daily grind gets me down.

Shame man, it sucks hey. But yes, try as hard as you can to focus on positives. We all fall short on that at times. And even if things are and have been crap, you have a beautiful child out of it. Everything we feel is from thoughts we allow to float around our brain - and I'm as guilty as the next person. We are all in the same boat I guess - starting again :)

Hugs

Sorry you are feeling so low. I split up with ex several years ago after being together 20 years. Shortly afterwards my Mum & my 2 best friends died within weeks of each other. I was in such a terrible state I felt like a shadow of myself and felt very bitter about how my life had turned out. I'm telling you this because I thought I would never feel better or get my "mojo" back as you put it. But do you know what? I do feel better - happy even... No quick fixes, no momentous life changes just a slow shift. It's taken a while and there have been a lot of backward steps on the way but I've finally got a sense of myself back. Be kind to yourself & accept help when it's offered. You will get there eventually... Take Care x

Same here. 2 years of it now and it doesn't get easier. Could do with sunshine and sleep, one day maybe .

I say this to everyone but counselling has been a amassive help to me through much of lifes crap. It might help you to properly offload those feelings and find a way to focus

i'm on my own with 5 and its sooooo much easier than when in a dv relationship with the ex.....i'm 7 years on since leaving,and that relief is STILL tangible to me!

its been ok.....but now we've hit the tewen years,and OMG!! its a shock....

had no counselling,but really i think it would have been a good idea
