Just been dumped by my partner of 2 years. I've had an awful traumatic time with close family bereavements over the past few years, so many that I've no real close relatives left now. He's given me the spiel about wanting different things but at the end of the day I've supported him throughout our relationship both financially and tried to be there emotionally for him despite struggling myself. I just feel used now as he's not stood by me.
I'm a single parent with no real support network and this feels like it's going to destroy me. I'm 43 now and can't bare the thought of having to start over yet again. I'm not through dealing with the bereavements I've had and now I have this. It feels too much to cope with. I can't stop crying. Nobody cares about or loves me.

I don't really have any solution but didn't want to reread and run.
Have you thought about getting some bereavement counselling. You can ask ur dr for a referral.

Do u go to any clubs etc. How about looking for a club to take the kids to on a Saturday. Might meet some new people and develop new friendships.
Sorry youve had such an awe full time

I don't have direct experience but didn't want to leave you feeling alone, because you are not!
This is bound to feel horrible, rejection always does, especially at 6am in the morning just after it has happened. However you know you will survive this and the bereavements, because you are strong and to be honest, you have to. I know this seems really important and vital but it really isn't. Your kid(s) really are though. You need to on them and you while this passes and don't dwell on the past. That's already happened, make the future good.

You poor thing. It’s an awful feeling to be dumped. You will come through this and be stronger than ever Flowers

Hang on in there. This will pass. I second some support for your losses.

You need to grieve and this takes time
Try to think of one positive thing today. Write it down. And add something different tomorrow
My ex walked out 6 weeks ago. After 6 months of being on and off. (14 years together). It has devastated me. I know it is just going to take time.
Find friends who will let you rant. Write e mails and notes but don't send them. Just try and pour it out.
