Fed up with not having anyone to share the burdens with.

[Solo]

Bit of a self pitying thread really, but it's taken me a very long time and I can now say with conviction that after being on my own for so long...

I am fed up with the burden of being alone.
I am fed up with struggling on my own.
I am sometimes lonely.
I have no single parent friends or single friends at all and my 'social life' ha! what a joke is visiting my widowed Mum or visiting my Brother.
I miss my Dad terribly.
I can't get a job.
Not one 'friend' has spoken to me so far this summer holiday (except one that lives on cloud fluffyland in her mansion and that really cheers me up because shopping is her passtime!).

I could write a very long list of problems and yes, I know we all have problems, but I just don't want to do it on my own any longer, I don't want to face the problems on my own :( I could cry right now and need a real 'man hug' and I don't care who knows it!

if that's OK I'd love to step on to this thread and wish Happy Christmas to you all whether you are with DCs this morning but special happy Christmas to those like me waking up alone without DCs.

Thank you Prizey that's very kind Merry Christmas to you too.

I am lucky to be spending Christmas with my Dd, but my Ds is away staying with my nephew (slightly older, but has autism). I had a call from Ds in the early hours. He said they'd been pretty much drinking beer and sleeping! I hope he'll keep his sensible head on!

I was not woken up by Dd until about 9:45. We were at midnight mass and were in bed late. I must say that considering she didn't get much this year, she was absolutely thrilled with what she did get except for the maths practice books and times tables helper.

Right, I think I'd better get sorted, wrap the remaining gifts for Mum, my brother etc.

I hope you all have a great day! Much love Solo and family.xxx

And Prizey why don't you join in our thread for the future? We'd love to have you join us for chats and support. I will start a new thread for the New Year I think as we are getting near the end on here.

Are you spending the day with anyone? I hope so.

Thank you Solo! I'd love to join in
DCs just back now. So heading up north to DPS for a few days

Hope you're having a good journey prizey.

We may have eaten xmas dinner in our pj's . We did have a walk this morning though so not totally lazy.

Thanks meagle.....Did 200miles in 3hrs! Record time. Singing along to Christmas songs on the radio all the way, much to DCs annoyance. Roads were dead, was great journey thanks. Nice to be tucked up in my childhood bedroom, having feasted on Xmas dinner, leffe and brandy. Hope you've all had a wonderful day!

How was yesterday for you all? My Mum threw a wobbly and went home ten minutes after arriving. I can't be bothered with it tbh. She didn't want to be there really, so next year I think I'll take the kids away...

Oh bloody hell solo . Plan something for next year so you can look forward to it.

Mine has been fine, because I haven't actually seen my family yet. Partly looking forward to it so I can get out for a run but mainly dreading it because my parenting faults will be dissected.

Meglet you should stand up to your parents if they find fault with you if that were me I would make a big fuss and not bother visiting so much.
