Looking for Manchester/Lancashire single parents for support

[Sparks27]

Hi. I am am older mum aged 46 with a 7 year old looking for support and friendship. Life has thrown all sorts at me and now I find myself alone with my gorgeous boy and am determined to make a happy life for us. Living and going through divorce during these times has taken me to the edge and impacted a lot including my confidence. Trying to do little things each day towards getting my life back on track and this is one of them – reaching out and saying ‘Hi – anyone out there?’. So calling out to single mums and dads in the area wanting mutual support and friendship to go through the bad times and hopefully make some good times too.

Hi Sparks 27,

I’m in the Lancashire area and a 43 year old single mum to 3 girls (19, 17 and 8)

I’m going through a messy divorce and sometimes fine things really tough and I would love to have people to talk to.

Feel free to message me anytime x

[Sparks27]

Hi both – great to hear from you. Will message separately.

I’m 42, with a 9 year old. Lockdown is definitely a struggle. We are so used to filling our spare time with play dates, friends and family that lockdown is especially hard. I work full time and I’m tierd of being in the house just the two of us. Its challenging working, homeschooling and meeting everyones expectations. I’m tierd it’s draining, I miss our holidays our fun time, everything seems so stressful at the moment, from shopping to seeing family 😢 happy to chat anytime (if I have anytime)

Hello!

I’m an older new mum too. 51 with a 5-year-old and also in the middle of a divorce that I had the inspired idea to initiate in the middle of a Pandemic!

There are no Gingerbread groups in Manchester but I just saw there is a new one in Salford! Maybe we can get local support through that.

My immediate problem is my boy’s behaviour. He is getting more and more disobedient and now even aggressive at school :S Any tips you can share??

 

Take good care and stay strong (and safe!)
