Hi Bongo,
I noticed. I know how you feel.
While I’m newly a single mum (6weeks) to my now 4 month old I keep busy with activities in the day… but the evenings, that’s where I break.
I miss the hugs, the comfortable silence, the chats about a programme we’ve watched, planning for the future.
Being on maternity leave means I meet a lot of people in the daytime who support me, but on evenings you’re on your own.
Are there any local groups you could go to with your kid? I found I was so ashamed I didnt tell anyone my husband had left me (who leaves their 3 month old baby unless the mum was horrendous) but since I’ve told people I do feel better when I’m in groups
You did great reaching out on here, you can reach out in person. Theres no shame in being a single parent, you are amazing and strong x
