Hi everyone. thought id properly introduce myself to the lone parent section. im 21 and single parent to ds who will be 1 next saturday. Glad to be single after a shit last few months. Been on my own now for about 2 weeks and im starting to get lonely now. my ex has a girlfriend (the woman he cheated on me with) so thats making me feel extra lonely but im trying not to think about that. My ds is the man in my life now and he is all i need at the moment.
Feeling quite down still but i guess thats only natural. Ive bought a load of paint to decorate the whole house and make it my own. Hopefully things will start looking up for me soon......

Dont look at this as the end hun look at it as the beginning i was in the same position as you this time last year, and now i got my independence back, my boys are wonders and i have a wonderful man in my life. I hope things work out for you xx

JC - Much respect for you! You are getting on with it with dignity and optimism!!!!!

I would say the worst is over I suspect....

Best wishes for your fresh start - the best is yet to come!!

hiya, well done on breaking away. im 37 and on my own with 11yr old ds and 14month old ds. said to my mum tonight its hard but better than putting up with crap off a bloke and washing their dirty socks.x

JC - well done for being brave enough to make the break. I was a single parent for 5 years to my 2 DSs and although it was difficult at times it was a 100% better than dealing with the unrelenting crap dealt out on a daily basis by my XP. Your life is your own now to do exactly what suits you and your children - the only way is up now as the song goes (showing my age now )Good luck! x

hi juicychops
same position as you but 2 months on
my ex left me and I have no idea which town he lives in but 99% sure hes with her.

Do paint - I painted the kitchen 2 days after he left & am slowly rearranging furniture & changing things to suit me.

like Toothache said, the worst is over cos your fear of bein a single mum has happened
BUT i have to say that like you I put up with a load of sh't and now I can make decisions for myself & my children, and we are a lot happier on a day-to-day basis

and I know its hard, but try not to dwell on what hes upto with new gf
besides hes been unfaithful to you so why should this new one be any different?

good luck
