NYE alone

[duskmum]

Any other parents spending new year alone?? It's my first one. Last year exP had D'S. Feeling a bit upset about it. Know I'll feel very lonely

Bump

I'm alone by choice xxx

Lots of thinking and reflection to do.

Join in the virtual MN Party 🎈 🎉

Yes, I am. By choice really although I can't say I've been inundated with invites!

I'm widowed and my first NYE without my DH was spent with my DH's family and it was awful and after then I vowed to spend NYE on my own. First one was a bit difficult but I'm on my third now and I like it that way. After putting DD to bed, I plan to sit on the sofa, watch a favourite film and stuff myself with chocolate.

I hope yours goes ok. Just remember, you're not alone. Treat yourself to some good food, glass of wine and concentrate on you.

I am. I've spent the last few NYE alone. My DS are teens now so I want to be home and sober in case of any alcohol related incidents, plus I'll need to look after the dog when the fireworks start going off. I don't really like NYE, do plan to just have something to eat and watch a film. Oh, and stay off Facebook as all the 'look at what a wonderful time we're having' posts are guaranteed to piss me off!!

Hope your evening is ok, it's just one night remember

First NYE alone after leaving abusive stbxh a couple of months ago. Kids with him until 6th Jan (court ordered). Just want to go to bed and not think about it. Feeling low but know I'm heading towards where I should be and giving my children a safe haven from all his shit. Hope you get through tonight ok x

Lots and lots of love to you all xxx 💕

Nice to know I'm not alone. Had a little wobble earlier than thought , I'm not the only who will be alone. That's a good idea violet I was thinking it would be full of pics and people having a great time. Think I'll stay off it.
newmum this will be my 2nd year after leaving abusive ex so kind of know where your coming from. We have a better life than before now.
Think I feel a bit down because of the rubbish time I've had over Xmas and a friend was suppose to be coming over and she's let me down. I have a feeling it's for a guy

I'm alone too. He announced a few days ago that he was leaving me.
I'm sat in the kitchen, sobbing into my tea. He will be out tonight, enjoying himself.
I'm devastated.

Yes I'm home alone tonight. My daughter is at her dads

beau aw I'm so sorry. Do you have kids? Maybe go give them a big hug! Luckily the guy I was seeing ended last week so ive had some time to process things.

I'm alone too (well, apart from DD who is 3 but it's not like I can share a bottle of wine with her). I have spent many alone so they don't bother me too much. The one's I have spent with people I've gotten too wasted and made a fool out of myself so I think this way is actually better

@duskmum yeah, I have two. And they have seen me cry which is just so so bad. I'm really struggling to keep it together.

Alone by choice! Love it x

Fucking fireworks. Don't want to hear any of that.

Yea I think because it's my first one I feel a bit down about it. Sure I'll get used to it though. Ah beau give them a squeeze! And I'm with you on the fireworks! No doubt it will wake my DS up tonight!

At least we are in the countryside, no fireworks here. Bloody happy people being happy out there

Sorry, I may have had too much to drink...

Me. Dcs are with ex, they were supposed to be with me but last minute change of plans and I'm home alone.

I've deleted Facebook off my iPad so I don't need to see everyone else having a good time.

I feel a bit down about it actually.

I'm staying up with my 8 and 11 year old but am the only adult. I turned down invite to a party 2 hours away as really couldn't face it and kids not sleeping properly and being back to school in a couple of days, plus leaving the dog on his own. Worst night of the year to be alone I find. raising a glass to all of you out there at the mn Nye lp party! 😀

potplant dw you're not alone, i dont feel as bad as i did. Tbh it just feels like another night atm. I am trying to avoid social media as much as possible though. I think when it gets to 12 (because i know the fireworks will wake me!) i might feel a bit sad that i dont have anyone with me to say happy new year and hug. But oh well!

I know it's just another Sunday night. I've had worse nights when exH lived here.

I did have plans with the DCs (nothing special, just takeaway, popcorn and DVD) as they were supposed to be here. He asked me to swap because . I should have said no, but DCs wanted to go.
On the upside, I've go a whole box of Hotel Chocolat to myself and I do have plans with some new friends tomorrow morning.

or to all other LPs.

Just me and DS tonight. I couldn’t really care less for me, but I feel we SHOULD be doing something, for his sake. Even though he came in and said “I don’t get what the big deal is about New Year”. So hopefully hot chocolate, popcorn and a wee film for us is fine.

Surprisingly I haven't felt too bad tonight. Feels like just another night and I'm considering going to bed!

I’ve told DS twice in the last 40 mins to come off Xbox, and that we’ll bring the bells in together, movie, munchies, etc. He’s still on it, no doubt thinking I’ll forget and that he can come out in another half an hour and still get his movie and munchies

I'm on my own watching Alexander Armstrong get naked, there's been worse nights!
