Hi,
I have been a single parent from the start as the father never wanted to be involved. I have always stayed working so can provide for my son. 8 years on and I am still a single parent but finding things a lot harder. I am grateful for all I have in life but things never seem to go the way I would like, cars breaking, rent being stupid prices, relationships never lasting, always having more bills than income. My son is not the easiest of children as very energetic, emotional, rule breaking like most young boys! He has tested me every step of the way and continues to do so but I love him.
I have always tried to be positive and carry on with life and what it throws at me but today I broke and keep crying for no reason. My 8 year old son heard me and came to make me better and asked me why I was crying. I couldn’t tell him why but he knew I was upset so tried to make me feel better.
I don’t know how to start making things better and don’t feel like I can talk to my friends as none are in the same situation. Any help/advice would be greatlfully received.
