Hi MummyEmma
Welcome. How are you finding motherhood? Congratulations by the way :) .
I have a son who has just turned 7, and I've been on my own since pregnancy too. I actually think I'm a lot better off, as I don't have the constant battles.
Hope you and son are well.
look forward to hearing from you. Loads of support on here.
Take care

This is a brilliant board, and the support is tremendous.
Sending strength your way.

Hi Chrissie
I replied to your post in another thread asking how old your daughter is.
Hopefully we can offer some support for you here - even if you find you just need a rant over his behaviour.
I call my ex The Git...
So sorry you're going through all of this. You must be devastated.
Hello Sa21x and Chrissie
A warm welcome to you both, I am looking forward to getting to know you better. This is a very friendly site and we are always delighted to hear how you are doing and for you to join in the chat, or post a new topic for yourself. Have a look around the boards and dive right in!
Louise :D
Hi Sarah :)
Hi Sa21x, glad to have you on board look forward to getting to know you. :)
Are you enjoying having a toddler again? Are you finding it different from having a girl? Does your daughter enjoy having a toddler around?
Hi chrissie
It sounds as if you are having a difficult time still with your ex. Even if it was 4 years ago that you separated. Please join in a chat elsewhere or start a topic where you can share what is going on for you. We are here to support you. It is unfair that you are still getting upset about ex, so let us help you overcome this. :)
Hi my name is dizzydolly. I have 2 children, a boy aged 14 and a girl aged 17 2moz. I have been a single parent for 2 years.
Hi
I hope your daughter has a brilliant birthday!
I have four children - 17 year old son (turns 18 in December :o ), 15 year old daughter, son 13 who has special needs and my youngest boy who's 10.
Hi dizzydolly
Like the name!! Glad you have joined us! Happy Birthday to your daughter!
I look forward to talking to you more. I would be particularly interested in hearing how your children coped when you and your partner separated, how you coped. In hindsight is there anything you would have done differently? Did your children see it coming? Did you know it was coming? Please share your story with us :)
Hi Dizzydolly
Happy birthday to your daughter. Anything nice planned for her? Look forward to getting to know you.
Have yourselves a great day
Take care
Alison

Hi , I'm AVELLANA4 , I have 2 children , 8 and 11 , girl and boy ,
I have been divorced for 4 years and have no support from my childrens father.
hi every one my name is doit im 23 and i have 4 wonderfull boys 3,5,6 and 8 there mom died giveing birth to jack who is now 3( she was onely 22 i was 20) we miss her so much but we are copeing i just need advice on how to be a mom to 4 boys when im a dad . (yes i was 15 when denver was born i am proud i had him so dont judge me or my boys ) my so called family disowned me and ashelys did the same i havent seen them sence denver was born they havent seen any of the boys and when ashley died they didnt wont to know they dident even go to her funeral. but stuff them its ther loss if they dont wont to see them .
Hi doit
Welcome to One Space. I am so sorry for the loss of your partner. No one here is going to judge you, so please don't worry about that.
I take my hat off to you raising 4 boys at such a young age as yourself, and without any support whatsoever from the families.
You already sound like a great dad. I am single parent to my son 7. I have always tried to be a mum and dad to him. I have explained to my son that I have to be both hard and soft with him, because i have to be 'mum and dad'. I don't do anything different with him I don't think because the other parent isn't around. I think I would say just keep doing what you're doing, it sounds like you're doing ok.
Are you getting any support from any groups?
Its still very early days for you and the boys. I know you must be very bitter toward the families, but is there no way of building bridges there? Do you have anyone that helps you out, so maybe you can get a break from time to time, just for a couple of hours?
Keep posting on here, you will find lots of support. Like you say, you are proud of your boys, of course you are, and you should also be very proud of yourself.
Take care
Alison
