Hi guys!
I am from and live in Stoke Newington. The place is inundated with happy families and babies galore. So being a lone parent, with no support whatsoever, can be quite isolating.
I used to teach, but had to give it up because of ill health. I’m on the mend, but now my nine year old daughter is going through a difficult time, and with no siblings or cousins, she takes her despair and anger out on me. Driving me crazy. So difficult to manage on your own, particularly when your child is being bullied at school and the management use my mental health to distract from the real issues, and you’re lumbered with a narcissistic ex until your child turns 18!
Nonetheless, I still have a smile for others. It would be nice to meet up for a drink and a giggle. And I know my daughter always benefits from meeting new children too…
Let me know if your forum is still up and running.
Cheers
