Hi all
my relationship ended suddenly so it’s just me and DD now.
im over the initial shock. Ex says he wasn’t happy for a long time but pretended everything was ok for years and even wanted to start a family knowing he felt this way.
im posting in relationships thread as I guess I want to work on the relationship I have with myself. How do I move on and heal and find myself? The new version of myself as a single mum I mean.
it’s not like I can just up and leave to another country for a couple of months like I would have in my teens. I guess I feel like I don’t want this trauma from the relationship to weigh me down and stop me from meeting new friends and possibly a new partner in years to come.
im pretty good at getting up and at em. Always get up and do my hair and makeup and make sure I fit some sort of walk in each day and always leave the house for my own sanity. But how am I meant to work on myself when my time is devoted to my 7 month old…. I don’t really know what I like and enjoy anymore but it’s not as if I have the finances to do different job courses or join different social clubs like I did pre baby.
everything is just different with a baby - as we all know - and trying to mend yourself when you have a little one is hard. I want to be the best version of myself for the sake of me and my LO and I do really want to meet someone in the future and I don’t want this to stop me as Ive never learnt to truly heal or even know who I truly am as a person now I’m a single mum.
