Break up

[Babyghirl]

For all yous lone parents out there, how do you do it, I have just split up with my partner packing mine and daughters stuff to go to housing, he is constantly going on how I don't do this for it I have forgot about him, in reality I have no energy, I do everything and I mean everything in the house.

The cleaning, cooking, washing, fs I even lift his dirty washing of the bathroom floor, it came to blows yesterday when I told him how I felt, and he's does nothing and I'm sinking, don't know why I'm writing this post just a hand hold I suppose. Like I told him I had no time for myself have not seen a friend from I was pregnant as he would not mind the baby, I was in hospital last week for 3 days an op on the Thursday home on Friday, he past comment of how hard it was but still let's me slog on with everything.

Tell me I will be OK.

You will be ok. Don’t get me wrong it can be hard at times but it sounds like you’ve been doing all the parenting and running the house anyway.
I’ve been a lone parent for over 3 years now to 4 children. They have no contact with dad so I have to do everything. Abit like you I was the one that always did the bulk of childcare and household things so that transition was quite easy. It can take abit of time to get used to living with just the children but now I look at it as I’ve got 1 less person to pick up after. I also don’t have to factor anyone else into any plans I make other than the children.
People often ask why I’m still on my own and in truth now I actually like being a lone parent and can’t see that changing any time soon.
You can do anything if you set your mind to it.

Thank you for responding to my post, I'm not just painting myself in a great pic when I say but I really do everything, and I mean everything, it's tough going I was due back to work last week, but being in hospital but that on hold, it won't be a big adjustment doing it all on my own cause I do anyway, just be 1 less to pick up after and I won't have to factor his needs on to my plans, he going to his mums to I find somewhere else sorted xx

You'll be fine, if anything better of not having to look after him! I know it can be daunting but it's no different to what your doing now and the added bonus of less stressing he's doing nothing to help. You'll look back in a year and be thankful you made the decision to go it alone. Big hugs xx
