Recently single and ill

[cantthinkstraighta]

Just feeling sorry for myself at the moment. Ex dh left last Monday and since then my LG 20mths has had a horrible tummy bug. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and have just started being sick myself. She is still being restless and I keep waking her every time I get up to throw up
At the moment I have left her in bed watching kids YouTube (as she was clinging onto me as I got up to run for toilet) while I'm becoming best friends with the bathroom facilities.
Just feeling really sorry for myself I'm a bad patient at the best of times

I'm sad to read this, it's hard for you at the moment but you and your daughter will get better soon. I can't say I think much of your ex for leaving you with a baby AND pregnant (though you may have wanted him to go). He should help out though.

It is horrible being ill and horrible when you have children to look after at the same time.

Go easy. Drink when you can and just make it a duvet day. Hope you soon start to feel better

I caved and messaged ex for help in middle of the night and I am still waiting on a response
I've had to send my dd to nursery as there is noway I can look after her today. I can't move out of bathroom and she is tugging on my leg crying come on which is making me feel even worse

Well type about the devil and he responds - just got a call asking me what my problem was that he was going to work to just send her to nursery (even though she is still not well)

Sorry to hear you are still unwell. It's good you managed to get to nursery at least you have some respite.

Sorry to hear ex didn't help out. I hope he was just having a moment. But I no longer factor kids Dad into any childcare or hobbies etc because I know he will let us down.

Hope few hours rest will soon have you feeling stronger.

Hi how are you feeling now? I hope better. Why are men such horrible #*€%#$¥ - I’m pretty much in the same boat be nice to hear how ur coping x

Are you starting to feel better tonight? That must have been a very hard message to read today, I hope your dad made it through the day at nursery and you're feeling better too. Being ill as a single parent is no fun at all.
