I guess I'm just looking to hear some positive stories about finding someone after becoming a single parent and actually finding happiness again with someone?
Don't get me wrong.. I'm okay on my own. Me and my son's dad have a good co parenting relationship, he's a great dad. I obviously love my son to bits, I'm not lonely being single. I enjoy my own company and I am happy but sometimes I do struggle..
I struggle with the idea of even ever meeting someone again. Although I'm not dating, I have a little over the last couple of years but it's just so much effort and time that I feel I don't have or want to commit to meeting people who aren't genuine.. and even if they are.. will I ever be ready to let someone into my life like that again? It's such a huge deal with a child too and I just can't imagine it.
I work full time, and in the small amount of time I do have with my son, it feels so rushed all the time. Everything is just rush rush rush then it's bed time and before I know it, he's at his dads.
I just hate this broken cycle sometimes..
I've honestly never known something so mentally hard to keep up with.. one minute being on my own, cramming in as much as I can to my free time like my hobbies or catching up on the housework etc, balancing work and spending time with my son and then back to being on my own again. I swear I just feel constantly burnt out and like I'm never achieving anything.
There is just never enough time to do everything and I feel I'm constantly just keeping my head above water.. being a single parent working full time is so hard! And that's with a good co-parent l.. I'd love to meet someone one day and be happy but I just genuinely can't imagine how.. the thought overwhelms me so much!
Don't know the point of this post other than maybe hearing some positive stories about people that were once at this point also?
