Hi Alimel1983

your not alone my daughters 11 and she is really struggling to cope as her dads moved out. She needs constant reassurance that we are still her parents and we love her very much and we will always be there for her no matter what. I have taken her to the GP and she’s been referred for counselling. I’m patient and encourage her to talk on her terms , she is in contact with her dad and she calls and factetimes him. Trying to keep her routine helps keep normality. Have you got family and friends supporting you? I am reaching out to all my good friends and family they are helping by giving my daughter attention and taking her out, she’s playing with her friends and she is doing activities to distract her like drawing, painting etc. We go on lots of walks and get plenty of fresh air. It takes time but it starts to get easier if you can keep structure and routine. I have also informed the school so they can offer her emotional support.

Hope this is useful for now I know how hard it is

Hi Soph2407,

what I’ve learnt in 7 weeks since I separated from my cheating husband 2 affairs in 8 years, is just take it at your own pace day by day, time really is a great healer I’m struggling daily as we are trying to be amicable for our children 11 and 4 I feel worse some days but try and distance yourself minimise contact it’s so so hard when he keeps leaving I find it easier to have a couple of days of not seeing him. Try and go out and have time for yourself when he has your son use all the support you have friends and family. People keep telling me it gets easier well I’m waiting and hope it happens. It’s normal how your feeling don’t pressure yourself. Find your inner strength it’s there especially for your sons future.
