Struggling to deal with break up

Hi guys.

Me and my children's dad have broke up for multiple reasons and I'm really struggling to accept the break up.

I have asked him for another chance and he's told me no. He's told me he doesn't feel the same anymore. It obviously hurts to hear and I can't change how he feels.

The other night he got drunk and turned up at my home late in the evening. He told me he's "punishing" me by telling me doesn't want me and he hopes that we can work things out in the future.

The next day he's told me he didn't mean any of it and he was just drunk.

I still love him and want us to work. I don't know how to deal with all the emotions right now.

I know he's taking me for a ride and I shouldn't even bother but I feel like that's easier said than done!

How do I block out those feelings and try to move on? :(

He doesn’t sound very nice so you are probably well rid of him.

Easy to say, harder to do though, it’s taken me 4 years to be strong about my own situation. It is so hard when you want the best for your kids and you have to compromise because the storybook family isn’t possible. The thing is you will be happier eventually. You will move on. Take strength from you doing your best for your children and support from friends or family wherever it’s available. Flowers

He isn't a very nice person, so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard! I know I haven't been an angel and have contributed to some of the reasons we have broken up, but I honestly thought it would be easier than this.

My family are miles away, I moved away to be with him. I'm trying to move closer to them, but that is proving a bit more difficult than I first thought. :(
