Feeling so guilty. I’m a single mum and my ex doesn’t see our children at all (fully his choice) I have no family (well not in contact with them) and no real friends, it’s my daughters birthday on Monday and I just feel so bad that they have no one, just me, no presents from anyone, no one coming to my daughters birthday (she even mentioned the fact that no one ever comes) I just feel like I’ve let them down by not having anyone in our lives, I try to make the day feel special but it just feels sad that no one else cares about them. It’s so bad I feel like contacting my ex even though he doesn’t want to see them just so they can have someone in their lives other than me, I did try to make friends at the school but just didn’t gel with anyone and now I do a different pick up time so don’t see anyone anymore, which doesn’t make a difference really as I found it hard to get in with the other mums. I feel bad that I have no family that care about my children, even taking them out on Monday I’m dreading it as feel like a loner and think if anyone knows it’s my daughter birthday and I’m on my own they will know I have no one (I know that sounds silly 😔)
