Hi

I am a single parents with an abisuve ex. My current relationship has fallen apart as he can’t be there the way I need to feels guilty and we are bickering all the time. He says he loves me but we are at difference phases of live.
We live separately and he works abroad so living together has not become and option. We had planned for this but work and future goals have shifted.

I can’t go on and feel like there is no hope left, getting out bed is exhausting but I work ft so have no choice.

I feel alone and the loss and grief I feel is like a bereavement - same as when I lost a parent.

I’m at the lowest I’ve been. I have no friends and no support. I want to disappear

Hi Fromheretothere21,

We're sorry that you're going through such a difficult time.

We can see you're getting some good support from other Mumsnetters here, but we thought we'd also add a link to our Mental Health resources as there are many organisations listed which could give you some more support in real life.

You can also get help from a new text service called Shout 85258. Its trained volunteers are available all hours of the day and night to listen and support you to get to a calmer and safe place. Shout is a free, confidential, anonymous service for anyone in the UK and it won’t appear on your phone bill.

Here too is a link to Mind's website, and in particular their tips for everyday living which could help when you're feeling low.

One other organisation which could give you some practical support is Gingerbread - it's a charity which was set up to provide information to help single parents support themselves and their family. They also run local support groups so please take a look at their website.

We really hope things start to feel easier for you soon.

Sending good wishes Flowers
