Hi Stephen,
Sorry to hear that you are finding it difficult at the moment. I’m in the same situation, my 4 year old is driving me crazy starting early in the morning and ruins the morning but i try to meditate and remember to breath so i can return to a calm state before doing/ saying anything that can make things worse. It’s hard enough for him not to see his daddy around..so i try my best not to be too hard on him ( difficult sometimes).
I also have a 2 and half year old how asks so many questions and i just don’t know how to answer them best…so it’s a constant struggle to cope with my own feelings and the fact that I’m alone now and very little help from ex ( he is emotionally abusing me on every level and I’m exhausted..dealing with him and his attitude, it’s the worst bit of all)
So my advice, take it one day at the day. Try to be strong for your little one ( he needs you more than ever). Yes, you’ll have days when you will break down but get yourself up and tell yourself that you can do this. Try to talk to someone about it ( gp could help?)
All the best
Nick
