Just so bloody lonely

I recently got back in touch with my mum and I thought everything was going great but it’s really really not. Turns out she’s living with her ex boyfriend who abused me as a kid. It’s totally understandable apparently and there’s no need for it to cause problems between us.

I have a few lovely friends but they’re all busy with their own lives (understandably).

My relationship might as well be over. Had a huge row last night and he got home from work today and announced that he wants to try and make things work. So he did he washing up. For the first time in approximately a year. Then carried on as his usual self and barely acknowledged me all night. If this is him ‘trying’ then god fucking help me.

I have to leave my job soon which I actually quite enjoy purely for the socialisation (sad I know).

I have my lovely toddler but unfortunately his conversational skills suck so I don’t have anyone to talk to really. Hence probably spending way too much time on here.

I don’t know what to do really. Just want to get away.

Take a risk, plan ahead, what do you really want for you and your toddler? Be excited! Might be something simple like joining a mother and toddler group to make friends locally; it might be moving to another town, city, beach...country.

Life is what you make it, please don't waste it.

It’s just so scary, the thought of being on my own. Which is ridiculous because I am on my own anyway!

Can you afford to take the little one on a short holiday? Or head out for a family day? Tell your partner you’re feeling and you think it will do some good to have a day out as a family maybe? .. hope things get easier for you Flowers

You can do it!
I was left with two toddlers. I changed my job, moved house found new child care all on my own and made a new set of friends. Made a completely new life in another city, without the OH. It is the best thing I ever did. I look back now and wonder how I managed, but we have all had a much better life because of it.

You really can make changes, but it is down to you.
