      The up and down days are endless. I’ve been out a little while now and I know it’s going to take time. Yesterday I was absolutely fine feeling positive infact. Today I’m back down really low. I hate weekends they remind me of being a family I think and then that makes me miss him again even though he still continues to be horrible and difficult. I wish I could stop that feeling missing him. I want to move forward with my life I want to think positively I really do. I have beautiful children who I love dearly And I am positive around them and make our life as happy as I can because they deserve to have happy surroundings. I just hate these down days I really do there’s no warning they just come over me and im back there wanting everything to be ok with my little family…though it never will be now. Xx

      It really is a rollercoaster. I’ve been missing mine and feeling sorry for him these last few days too. Today I went out and it felt like everywhere I looked it was happy families and loving caring dad’s with kids. I wanted to go home and hide, but I didn’t I stayed out and had fun with my child. We don’t know the families we see are really happy, we only see a snapshot. We know that life can be very different behind closed doors. Allow yourself to grieve the relationship, allow yourself to miss him. Accept/acknowledge your feelings and then let them go. Distract yourself, watch some c**p TV or anything that makes you happy. These feelings will pass and you’ll feel better, yes the feeling of missing him will come back but then just remember what you did to get yourself feeling better.

      I’m feeling like this too today ladies. I don’t want to be with anyone else but I watched a family today and the dad was so engaged with the kids then gave his partner a big kiss and she laughed. I felt like ‘what did I do to deserve the life I ended up with??’
      I always thought I’m a good person – but the last 4 major relationships I’ve had have all been with men that have problems so they must see my weakness.
      🙁
