    Not that great! I am really NOT liking this business of being a single parent. ExP wasn't a huge help, but he did help on occasion, and at least I didn't feel so awfully alone. Being a single mother is the hardest thing in the world.

    :hugs: darlin... yep you're right there - but being in a relationship that is destructive is even worse. Hang in there honey, surround yourself with people that are positive and are going to be there for you.

    and remember we can only live one day at a time - sometimes it will seem like only one hour, or one minute, or one second is all you can get through...

    Vent rant rave here ok...

    :hugs:

    Oh Baby Socks Vicky is right... just take each day as it comes and pray for some help because I couldn't imagine how hard it would be with a baby by yourself. My mum and dad separated when I was older and she went straight into another bad relationship and kept doing that over and over ... because she was lonely. I agree, it can be worse being in a bad r/ship than being by your own.... trust me! Maybe list some positives: you're not fighting infront of your baby, you're not having to to pick up his mess or have a meal ready at a certain time? You WILL find someone better to share your life with darl... believe that... just see this as a re-adjustment time. You need to stop and think about what you REALLY want in a lifelong partner... maybe that's a subject for another list. Yes! this is your venting thread... we're here to listen :hugs:
