Re: how do i move on

its never easy moving on when kids are involed, i was in the same situation sometime ago and all i heard was think of your girl n im like what about me, easy to meet her needs but i had all the mental strain and no family help wasnt good either, if u have good friends or people u can confide in it makes all the difference. i dont know the sitch but wish u and ur kids the best. have a cuppa a take a deep breath and smile cos someone u dont even know thought of you. you have an unearthed strength that once revealed will help to dodge any obstacle that comes your way. good luck and take care

I know what you are going through.  I have been through it and at the time I felt confused, lost, hurt etc.  But I can assure you that things will improve over time.  It takes time.   At the moment you are going through a grieving process.  So keep your chin up, and reassure the children that all is well.

 I'd be feeling that all your emotions and not knowing which way to turn  would be very raw at this moment and that is understandable. I hope you have family and close friends arounds for moral support and to talk to which is very important to release the build up of emotions, hurt and anger....you need to release to start healing. And if that means talking your head off to friends or family so be it.

I know you will feel that there is no light at the end of the tunnel but there is sweetie, just take baby steps and  deal with one day at a time, things will happen gradually  important thing to remember is that you are a worthy person and that you and your children deserve to be happy.

I wish you all the very best.

I feel for you, butteerfly. My world crashed in on me about five years ago. I was lucky that my kids were grown.

If you have health insurance, or can otherwise afford it, find a counselor. They can help a lot. If not a counselor, then someone else you can trust, someone you can talk to freely. You need to talk this out and work through the grief and the anger and the other emotions you will feel. The oldest child may benefit from some help, too, but in that respect you're the most important person right now. You need to feel good about life and about yourself so that you can be the best mom you can be.

Remind yourself every day that you are worth it

A breakup like that can be every bit as traumatic as a death. In a way, it is a death. Your children have to come first, but be gentle with yourself. Give yourself permission to grieve.
