My girls were 7 and 8 when my husband and I separated. The hardest thing in the world was going to bed at night with no shoulder to cry on when I was first diagnosed with BC. I also hated getting up in the morning to drive kids to school feeling so sick. I had one doing her HSC. I felt so sad getting my own cup of tea each morning with breakfast and was aching for someone to ask me if I wanted something when the girls were at school and I was alone.
This time round with BC is easier as I have one working and one at Uni and they help more and have shared the load emotionally. Its never been easy, but I know I'm lucky as my girls were older that yours Soly. I've had about 12 years practice now and I love my single life
and freedom. Just sucks when you're sick!
May I recommend the Single With Children social group? You can google it.
Cheers,
Diane
