Happy fucking NY to all the lone parents sat on their own!!!!

[deepbluewave]

Just that really.

Happy new year to you all! Im sat in on my tod with glass of wine in hand. Dd's both in bed asleep. Apart from the birth of my second dd , 2013 has been shit so bring on 2014 I say! I think we all deserve a fabulous 2014! X

Happy New year. Last New year's eve I was in the HDU of my local hospital so even sitting at home is an improvement on that. DD 1 and I have searched the cupboard for booze and snacks and we're watching a recording of Jesus Christ superstar with Tim Minchin.

Home alone too, exh has had a good deal this year he had most of Xmas then pissed off on holiday with his buddies.

Next year I will be doing something nice
Currently cuddled up on the sofa with dcs

Home alone, in pj's in bed on the laptop. DS not back till Friday, so I even get a lie in tomorrow! I don't usually drink, last time was on my Birthday 5 months ago, and I've had wine , and then I had another , so I'm fairly chilled now hic!
Happy New Year you lovely lot!

1st new year on my own but better than last year sitting here whilst ExH was down the pub. All my little babes are asleep and I shall goto bed soon as they will be up at the same time as usual tomorrow. What a year. We split this year and ExH says its his worst year, for me my worst year was 2012 as it was the year he chose to keep drinking and hurt our dc over quitting drinking and saving our marriage. This year was simply the year the consequences happened, he moved out and I and the DC are able to live without an abusive alcoholic swearing, throwing things and being very selfish man in the house. 2013, the year he moved out, has been much better :)

happy new year.
dd in bed. I am having a mulled cider and about to turn in for the night. nye always overrated.

Just think, there are people out there, queueing to get into bars - in the rain. And then having to get a taxi home.

So did we have a cracking NYE? I bought the tiniest bottle of prosecco in the world, for two quid from Asda, and popped the 'cork' (screw top) at midnight

Frickin amazing London fireworks. Kicked Sydney's arse.

Welcome to 3014. The number two key here is busted haha

That was my first alone too. Had lovely friend round but still ended up quietly sobbing in the bathroom after logging onto the demon fb and seeing exH and OW declaring that 2014 would be their year etc etc.

And he was drinking wine which upset me on an irrational level! He would never ever touch wine.....not even take a sip for our wedding toast. I have to understand that this is the same middle-aged fool that started smoking the day he met OW because she did.

andwhynot he will fall out with her and it will be ugly.

You will have gotten over it and him a lot by then.

And whynot- my ex was vehemently anti smoking until he met his current girlfriend who smokes- now hes a proper smoker. Had the cheek to ask to light up in my house - where our kids were! No you fucking cant you prick.

Thank you, KingRollo and Firekracken

I know what you both say is true.

I have blocked them, as they have me and most of our mutual friends, but every so often I call another friend to log in for a little update. I should learn. It never ends well.

The sad part is I honestly, honestly don't want to be with him anymore but it's the rejection that stings. OW has always had a huge crush on him since teenage days so she is being unbearably smug.

They are equally as needy and desperate as each other. It still hurts though. He has destroyed DD.

I'm a bit late to the party but reading this thread has been very reassuring that I was not the only one sat in with the DS and my Mum while the STBx was living it up somewhere else.
In my case my twatty ex lives abroad and said he only had enough holiday time to see DS 1&2 for a week, not that they would see him anyway as they are very hurt and angry with him at the moment.
I looked at OW's twitter page (I know it's not healthy but sometimes can't help it ) and he is off scuba diving in Bali with her for NY.

My NY resolution is to get a life of my own so that I can stop wondering or caring what they are up to.

Happy New Year to all of you and I hope that 2014 is everything that 2013 wasn't.

Thanks for the comforting replies. The bitter part of me loves to think karma will have some surprises in store for them.

Also reminds me that I should return to these boards to vent from time to time. Posted initially when he left in "Relationships' a few times and it was full of good advice.

Hoping 2014 is far kinder to you all too.

And scuba diving in Bali for NY really would be a bitter pill. Those Box Jellyfish can be little buggers though!

Andwhynot

I'm actually kind of hoping they get left behind by the scuba diving company failing that a box jelly fish will do. not biter at all

Not bitter
