I am soon to be seperated from my h. we have 2 young dc. I dont know where to start listing all the things I am worried about!!

How will I manage financially? I am only really picking up odds and ends of work at the moment... i had an injury last year that forced me to stop working, i am on the mend, but regular work seems to be a way off yet...

How will i fit everything in? what with trying to find work/do work/run kids around etc etc... how do you all manage? I dont have family locally although friends are great... but I feel like i cant ask them for help because I have 'chosen' to seperate and should cope on my own?

I am dreading telling the children... i will seek advice on this... i think they will cope, i know its the right decision in the long term.

How do you stay positive? upbeat? when everything is changing... routines, social life, money, jobs....

at the moment everything seems up in the air because we havent sorted out settlements etc... i have seen a solicitor but until i know what the final settlement is i feel really unsettled....

I am rambling i know... just hoping for some words of encouragement...

thank you x
