Hi LoveYellow

I relate to your message to… Kids similar ages, needing support through the challenges of the teenage kids, and the comfort of the dog! I am so glad to have the dog, even though he is crazy 😂 he at least is happy to see me when I get home! What sort of dog do you have? Would be great to chat, have private messaged you x

Hi, all the things you have both said here rings so true with me too! Would be great to chat and offer support, and receive support too. Teenagers are so hard generally but more so on your own! X

Hi Future Happiness, thanks for your kind words, everyone says it will get better but I just don’t like being on my own all the time. Have sent you a friend request, would be great to chat.

Hi, totally feel your pain!

My husband left me, not mutual, over a year ago but am still struggling. Not the same scenario either but recently found out he is seeing someone and it so hurts!

I have a 14 year old and 10 year old and we live north of Derby but my family are in Leicestershire but they are not very good at supporting me and my emotions, or helping with the kids who are displaying some tricky teenager and preteen behaviour, so finding it hard and lonely.

Your feelings and experience sound similar so happy to chat x

Hi there all, agree with everyone, it is so hard on your own with teenagers. I have a 14 year old daughter and our relationship is really suffering as she just wants to be on her own on her phone and I just feel like I am nagging all the time about that and other stuff like not clearing up etc. . She has said some quite nasty things to me sometimes so am feeling quite lonely since my husband left and I  have less support.

I also have a 10 year old son, not teenager but definitely preteen! He is not as bad but still likes to be on his phone and has an angry streak so am worried it will get worse.

Have read people’s comments and advice on here such as not being so reactive or worrying about mess so much, but it is hard in the moment, especially on your own when there is no-one to “tag team” with. Will try to do these things more! 😁🤞 Thanks x

Hi,

Totally get you, though my husband left me over a year ago and still struggling to not feel lonely! I really miss the companionship of someone to come home to, talk to, go on  holiday with etc. I don’t have many friends, or many that are available as they all have their own families to be with, so happy to chat anytime.

I do have 2 kids aged 10 and 14 but still feel lonely as they are a handful at times. My dog is a bit of comfort but also a bit crazy! 😂 I live near Derby but feel free to message x
