Hello,
I'm a single parent of a 5 year old kid. It was a short lived marriage as I couldn't bare the abusive and violent behaviour. Also, my child was born with a medical condition. In order to give my entire focus to my daughter and to survive out of all the abuse I chose to come out of the relationship and is now divorced. Many of you know the difficulties of being a single parent but how do you all cope when your child goes to live with their/her/his dad for the weekends??
My daughter just left to her dad's place with a very sad face and he usually doesn't stick to schedules. So when he doesn't take her, I never complaint as I'm glad that she is with me and I can make sure that I give her good food and care. But today, its feeling horrible to see her down when she left to his place for the weekend. I feel like I took a decision without worrying about my child but actually I took the decision so I can avoid her seeing all the abuse happening at home and also could focus on her health.
Feeling so down although I'm very strong mostly( esp after facing series of problems - divorce, mum died, job at risk, child operation etc )...there is no going back but how do you ladies cope up with this situation?
