Hello I'm new to Mumsnet

[drinksonme]

I have read so many of the messages and have found myself so drawn and can so emphasis with so much. I have gone thru a breakup after nearly 13 years of marriage and having been with my partner for 16 years. I have two children and it is very distressing and leads to so much stress. It was my decision ultimately and the guilt is so hard to bear.

hi drinksonme! welcome to mumsnet.hope you find lots of support here.

welcome to drinksonme.

I'm sure you'll find support on here.

First thing... don't feel guilty! If it didn't work out it didn't. Might be oversimplifying it I know but you feeling guilty won't help anybody

Hi Alexsmum

I'm at home today as my son is unwell so have taken a day off work to look after him. I am sure I will find a lot of support and hopefully I will be able to give some help and advice too

hi drinksonme welcome to the wonderful world of mumsnet.

sorry you feel so bad at the moment. you will find lots of support here. lots of hugs.

I found this web site by word of mouth from a lady I am currently doing a working with children course with and wish I had found it long ago. Perhaps I have come through the very worst of my situation and I know feeling guilty will not help anybody but it is a very hard emotion to tackle. I think to myself it would have been easier for him to have ended the relationship with me.
