Moving soon & I'm so scared

Decided to go our separate ways 10 months ago, but H refused to move out & we put the house up for sale.
We have lived together but not together since then & have just had to get on with things. We have kept things as normal as possible for the boys & it has all been a very surreal situation.
Our house sold before Christmas & I am buying the house at the beginning of the chain, which all works out perfectly. All in all it is good news really.
However, with just weeks to go before this big move, I am feeling very scared & upset. It is tough enough moving house, but suddenly becoming a lone parent at the same time is just a bit too much for me right now.
I know that I have made the right decision, but I am finding this final stage really really tough.

Have just read your messages and feel so sorry that you have to go through this. I'm separating from my partner with a similar situation. We have been living in the same house and are just about to put it on the market. I'll be moving away but am going to be closer to my parents so will have a lot of support there.

I get really scared too at times even though I know it's the right thing to do in the long run. The thought of being alone and the effect it will have on the children is terrifying. BUT - focus on all the things he used to do that really annoyed you and think how much better it will be when he's not there. For me just being able to sleep properly at night without being disturbed all the time is a huge bonus! That and not being expected to produce three course meals every night! You'll soon make a whole new life for yourself and your boys and wonder whatever you were worried about. Of course you are scared - who wouldn't be? But in a few months it will all be over and you'll be settled in your new house. It sounds like you're a great mum and if you've managed to keep things going for so long under the same roof you obviously know whats right for your kids. I'm sure they know how much you love hem and will be absolutely fine.

Really hope everything goes OK, sending lots of hugs.

Hello messyone was thinking about you the other night and wondering when you would be moving. Hope you are ok. Will read this another time.

AllySev - sorry you are going through this too. It is a pretty tough process isn't it?
Hope all goes well for you. Good luck.

Hi, GF I am moving on the 4th of May & I am afraid to say, I seem to have hit an all time low!
