As of tonight I'm going it alone

[NoMoreNagging]

I have a strange feeling in my stomach, it's all over and the dc are going to be happy at last but am I going to cope?

After trying for over 10 years I've called it a day and we are splitting up and I'm going back to my home town to be near family. We agreed it would be the best way so no trouble there but somehow I feel empty, he didn't even make any special effort last night, even shouted at the dc to be quiet. FGS, it was their last night with him and nothing. He's going abroad to work for 2 years so he won't even see them very often.

On a positive note, I'm going to have babysitters so I can go out for the first time in 10 years - wow, what do you do again when you go out?

Oh nomore, hope you are ok.

It's completely normal to feel empty, you have been in a relationship with him for over 10 years.

You haven't given much detail, but clearly this has been going on for a while, and if it has impacted your dc to like you say, it must be the right thing to do.

You will cope, ofcourse you will, even if it's difficult some times. You will have family and friends close by, presumably they will help? How old are your dc?

And you will get to go out with a ready supply of babysitters and no more nagging !

Good luck for your new future . It is hard being a lone parent but a million times nicer than living tension and arguments in the house.

If you have family to help out you'll be fine. My family are amazing. TBH I don't know whether to be happy or sad that my life is easier without ex p. My family don't let me down, snap at me or slob out on the sofa.

Hope your ex p can stay iin touch with your dc's over the phone / computer.

Thanks girls. I am off to finish packing - hope it all fits in the car! My dc are happy so that's half the battle isn't it?
