Hi
I am a newly divorced single parent. My ex moved out less than a month ago.
The separation process was long and painful and it's better this way. I am fortunate in that my ex is a dedicated father and very involved.
So....initially I felt the relief of not living with that horrible atmosphere, however, I didn't expect to feel so lonely and tired at times. Exasperated with kids because they get up so so so early.
I know that it would be normal to experience some loneliness in these circumstances and I'll get used to it. But I fear I'm becoming somewhat of a hermit, hibernating with Netflix, eating bad food (doesn't seem much point to make healthy food just for me), and the longer I hibernate the harder it seems to get out and start building a life for myself.
I am also only late 30s and feel that I would really like some sex! (I just spent a few years in a sexless relationship), I'm young!! Attractive!! But I've no idea about this new life?!
Can anyone relate?
Thank you for reading....for the record I defo think we did the right thing by separating. But the loneliness....
