How to move on advice

[Singlemum31]

Been split from my girls dad since around December, i have an older boy aswell. In lock down and im actyally dreading when this is all over as it makes me realise how little of a life i have. Lockdown sadly isnt much different to my normal life expect i cant take kids out at the weekend. Im a mum and that is pretty much it. How do you find yourself again, find friends new relationships etc? I have no babysitter, the girls dad is on about having them overnight one day( if that ever happens ill be shocked hes so far from being reliable) i want to go out and enjoy myself IF it does ever happen, i havent done that for 6years. I have noone to go out with. 😒Just feeling a little lost......

Can’t help but could have written this!! 4 kids, ex doesn’t seem them, no family help. Lockdown has made me realise how lonely I am, I never get a break unless they’re at school but then I’m still home with the youngest. It’s been this way for 3 years, starting to think I will be single forever and I hate that ex thinks I’m not over him because I haven’t “moved on.”

People talk about paying babysitters but I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving mine with someone they don’t know. It’s so tough. How old are your children?

Its hard isnt it, my children are 12 5 and 4. How about yours? The middle and youngest is my exs and hes useless, always has been. He talks the talk but never walks the walks if u know what i mean. I woundnt pay babysitters either not that i have anyone to go out with 😕ex does what he likes out everyweekend and during the week just sucks. Lost myself so much i just dont know how to start again.
