I think today is the first day I’ve admitted to myself... hey you need help.
I’m a 42yo single mum 2 teenagers 17+14. Their dad died in 2016 46 years young and my mum In 2014 only 56 years young.
My children’s father and myself weren’t together at the time of the accident.
Lately I’ve been extremely emotional and irritated.
I don’t set many ground rules for my children which is wrong I know. Every single day is a struggle my 17yo son has disabilities life long ones with no cure.
I’ve had to give up work and since my ex partner passed there’s no maintenance paid. I live like a hermit really, don’t get me wrong I go out to do food shopping and pay bills....
I don’t let anyone get close for fear of being hurt.
My only true love, the only man I’ve ever truly loved is gone.
Now I can’t say he felt the same as he constantly cheated, and when I caught him he really went ballistic. I was on holidays with all the children in Spain at the time he was at home business reasons, he told me to get the F**K out of his house and basically left me in Spain with what I was standing in children included. No way home no money either...... now ten years on I have my own house(barely) holding onto it. But it’s mine no one can take it apart from the banks 😐
I’m all over the place really, I’ve tried looking for work but jobs are there but none suitable around my child with special needs.
I’m a drop in the worldwide ocean compared to others there’s a lot worse off than me....
Life is hard!
Now to clarify I’m not suicidal in anyway. I live for my kids, I go without everyday for my kids. I just feel today is the day where I was knocked for not 6 but 26..... I’m just plodding along.
Thanks for reading this far..
