hi V, I'm new too.  Am glad you have your children, they help get you through and focus, I hope you get some support on here, I am hoping too.  Sometimes you just get to the end of your tether and everyone around you gives advice, mostly conflicting.  You have your own ideas and end up not knowing what on earth you are doing.

Big hugs to you xx

Big hellooo and welcome to imstillstanding (waves back!)

Great name! It is good to have you on board, I am glad you took the bull by the horns and posted on here to say hallo, you don't need to talk about why you are alone, you can do that in your own good time if you wish.

For the time being, lets just get to know you! So you have a 4 month old daughter, awww how lovely, is she a content baby? You have older children too, how old are they? Are they enjoying their baby sister? 

Look forward to talking more with you Smile

I hope that we can support you with whatever you wish, we are all single parents here online, so hopefully we can give you some perspective on some of the decisions that you are facing.

Is there anything in particular that seems to be troubling you at the moment?

Hi from me, imstillstanding!

Wow, you certainly have your hands full. I'm not surprised you are proud of d - zoology, how fascinating. Your older children sound like they all have very distinct characters - what a great sounding bunch.

I'm not surprised you're missing them, the house must be really quiet without them around. Although my daughter regularly stays overnight with her dad, I still feel it when she's not around - I espcially miss being woken by her singing songs on a morning. Glad to hear you have your three 'big ones' back for the weekend.

(NB I edited your last post to protect your privacy - we try not to use our children's full names for this reason.)
