Newly single and lonely 🥺

[10187Mummyof2]

Hi,
I have a 10 week old and have recently become single. My ex partner was violent and I had to ring the police on him, social services then became involved, the whole situation has been horrific. Never in my life did I think my children would be involved with children's services (my eldest is 11). I found the strength to leave him(with a push from childrens services). I am finding it really difficult emotionally, its the loneliness. Sometimes I don't see anyone all day and I'm too tired to leave the house, my lil girl doesn't sleep much! I worry about the future and currently grieving the family life I imagined. Any kind words of wisdom would be appreciated :)

Take each day at a time OP. Try to share something nice with your dcs every day, hot chocolate with marshmallows or a set of selfies with the baby, or a shared film, snuggled together under a blanket.

Plan an outing for the weekend, even just a walk together on Saturday afternoon. Get some fresh air and try to say hello to your new neighbours.

Little steps, and don't rush, it'll get better quickly. Check out GingerBread who are incredibly helpful. And there's always someone awake here
