I love that I can parent my son the way I want, jump on a plane to visit my mum if I want, spend money how I want without having to consider anyone else except DS!
I hate that I have no one to go to lunch/dinner with spontaneously, that I don't have anyone to help with the crappy jobs like housework, cooking and carrying the groceries from the car!
I love that my son and I can bed-share with no-one else getting jealous or feeling hard done by for having to sleep alone! I love not having to argue about what show to watch. I love being able to go to bed when I'm tired and stay up when I'm not. I love that I can study after my son is in bed without feeling like I should then be entertaining someone else! I love that there isn't any arguing over organisation of furniture, cupboards, ANYTHING :-)
I hate that I have to do all the cooking. I hate that there's no-one to share the joy with when my son does something cute or clever or is just generally his amazing self!
I love that I don't feel scared and isolated anymore, I love that I can go back to work without being made to feel guilty about it, I love that I have been able to get DS into a bit of a bedtime routine and not have a TV blaring right outside his bedroom door or being told that I'm spoiling him by laying with him as he goes to sleep.
I hate that my ex is still playing games and trying to be controlling, and I really hate that I don't know if I'll ever trust another guy enough to have another relationship.
I love that my life is mine to do with as I please. That I can do what I want, when I want with my kids with noone getting the ****s, or letting us down. I love everything about life without him
But I hate being alone. Its boring. Just someone to be around after the kids go to bed would be nice
