Moving out

[Slashtrophe]

Am moving out in a week and a day to be a single mother on benefits (my self employed work has dried up). I am so sad, and guilty for putting myself first in not staying in an unfulfilling and unloved relationship. It has been tough the last few months in being here and debating it all and now in leaving. If anyone has any wise words it'd be appreciated, I feel like the loneliest person in the world. My dp is desperately trying to get me to stay but I just can't, I cannot subjugate my whole life to someone who has valued it so little, and whom I pity immensely but don't love. Going to bed soon but I don't know, if you have 5 minutes to be nice please do.

If there is one thing I have been told that seems to be true, its that a happy mummy is a good mummy. If this is something you need to do to be happy than it can only be of benifit to your dc... though it may take some time for that to truely seem that way.
And, actually, its kinda nice to read about a chick leaving cause its the best thing for her. Too many times females seem to put their lives on hold and sit in little corners of unhappy. And who knows, maybe you will find that a break is just what you needed and you and your dp will come back together. Maybe you will find that you are better friends than partners and you will both end up even happier with someone else
Obviously its going to be hard, specially for the dc. How are they taking it?
