anyone in the worcester area?
Hi jay83. A very warm welcome to One Space. You're certainly not on your own now you've joined us :) How long have you been single? It can be lonely being a single parent, but it can also be very rewarding. Before my son (7) started nursery I felt very alone, and there are still days where I feel lonely. I think I've adjusted to it, as I'm sure you will too. It does help to come on here and actually know that you're not the only one feeling this way.
Do you get any support from family or friends? Please keep posting, we are all here for you.
Take care
Alison

Hi jay83
I remember that feeling! Times will change, your son is now in school, this is the time for you, to get to know yourself again. Have a look at our Local Support and Events and see if there are any courses or events happening in your area.
You can also update this part of the site, so if you know of anything going on advertise it and let us know!
What are you up to today?
Hi jay83. Are you feeling more like this since your son started school maybe? I ask this because thats how I felt for a while. It seemed for four whole years there was just me, my mum and my son. My mum passed away when C was two and a half, so until he was 4, it was just the two of us really. I didn't know how I was going to cope when he started school.
Weekends are sometimes hard, but Christmas is the lowest of the low for me, though of course I do my best to make it special for my son.
Oh no, talking about Christmas already, (shame on me)haha.
Hope you're ok today
Take care

Well hopefully we can all enjoy the summer. (alisoncam I am much worse than you about thinking ahead, so don't worry heh heh)
Jay, did you get chance to look at the links that Anna and I suggested? I think it takes a big effort to haul ourselves out when we feel isolated, the ball is in our court and it is sometimes hard to know what to do first.
Hi jay83
Life will change now, it is time for a little bit of you, which can often be a scary thought!
Is there anything that you would like to do? Whether it be knitting, learning Spanish or becoming a Vet??!
Hello jay83
First of all welcome to One Space. There is lots of information and online friendship here.We have single parents here from all over the country, and a few from other countries too and we support each other along the way, as you will see if you read some of the threads. I know it is hard when everyone else seems to be in relationships. Does your son see his dad?
Have you been in touch with your local NetMums? it is for all parents but you will find that it is mainly other Mums going along so you may well make some new friends. See http://www.netmums.com/boards/Local_Meet_a_Mum.408/
What support do you have around you in terms of family and friends? I hope you will keep posting and we can give you some support and company here.
