Hi Dmtam, I posted a new thread on MN tonight but having read yours, I feel for you. Your situation must be difficult, looking after 5 children on your own must be so hard.

Not sure how to make you feel better but to say you are amazing. Be strong, I hope you get some support from friends and family.

Look after yourself.

Ex started off testing me saw boys once a week but past 2 weeks he's not seen boys at all, I've not had a penny off him so guess it's way he wants it to be
He texted me but to ask were to buy a photo frame no mention of boys
I'm more angry how he can do this to them just walk out

Thanks for letting me join

Hi Dmtam - welcome! Mumsnet is brilliant for the lonely evenings :) There is so much more than advise and support, although the support is amazing. If you want advice on any particular issue (CSA, SN, behaviour etc) there are different boards but general chat, politics, news etc are all grwat for company and entertainment!
