Tired of it, draining, awful, becoming bitter, i breast fed my children as a single mum, done everything, why cant i get it back, then i watched the most depressing thing on you tube where a single mum drinks vodka all night and then takes an overdos...

My brother took on a couple of children to be with my now sister-in-law, they didn't have any more together as two was all they wanted/needed. That was ooh at least 30 years ago and they're still together. Both those children are now grownups with their own children, and my brother has never replaced their dad (who moved to Australia) but he is their step dad and a granddad now to.

So yes there are men out there who will take on someone with children, and more than one child too. Of course finding them is the tricky part. Lots of frogs to kiss before you find that prince. I'm still looking for mine too!

FF- As with notdoing I met my XP when I was lonely and vunrable, he was a horrible bastard and the best thing I ever did was leave him. It left me penniless,homeless and battered black and blue.
The very last thing he ever said to me when I left 'no-one will ever want to marry you especially with a kid'

I met my now DH when I least expected it and we are now expecting DC4. It has been swings and roundabouts and we have had very hard times but we made it.

This is a real cliche but these things always happen when you least expect it. When I left XP a friend bought me a poster that said
' I am a strong independent woman, still defying time,place and circumstance'

Those words gave me a kick up the backside when I needed them and boosted my determination to suceed.

Sounds corny but you just have to look at your children and when u c their little faces everything melts away. xp has left me with ds and another one on the way, its tough especially when everyone around you seems to be with prince charming but your prince will b along soon. In the mean time you have to learn to love yourself. Make sure u talk things through with people. theres always an understanding ear somewhere on here. Theres been loads of time when i thought i was gonna crack up and a lovely lady on here has come to my rescue. I hope I dont sound patronising or anything. Just wanted to be of some help and let you know there are lots of people in the same situation as you who can help and support u
