Would really appreciate some advice on how to recover from the breakup of my 8 year relationship with my dc's dad. There was no-one else involved, we just grew apart after dc was born, but I still didn't think we'd split up. We split nearly 4 months ago, at first I was ok but now I'm reallt missing being in a relationship, although I don't want to be in one IYSWIM!
I know it's important to be on my own for quite a while in order to sort my head out, but I don't know how to start.
I just keep thinking of the long years ahead of me bringing up dc on my own, although I'm lucky in that exp is very inolved and I have a lot of family support, so it could be a lot, lot worse, I know. What I'd really like is for someone to tell me how long it will be until I feel better! Thanks if you're reading this.
