Hi Guys
Hi mummy2callum
Welcome to One Space. I have to say that was a truely spineless thing to do, your partner walking away like that. It never ceases to amaze me, how men and women can be so cruel, especially when there are children involved.
Being a single parent can be hard, but leanne, it is also so rewarding. Have you support from family or friends?
Everyone here is so supportive. Since I joined I don't feel totally on my own, and there is always someone who understands exactly how I feel.
I hope to chat some more, so keep posting ok.
Take care
Alison

Hi mummy2callum
What an awful shock for you to have to deal with!
It is great that you have the support of family and friends - absolutely priceless.
The support here is brilliant. I quite like the 'anonimity' that comes with it too.
All my best wishes
Hi mummy2callum
Welcome to One Space! there's plenty of people here to talk to and give you some support and understanding. What a terrible shock that must have been , that he just dsappeared, Do you think he will not see his son then? i suppose it is early days but how awful not to talk things through with you.
Take care and look forward to getting to know you more :)
Hi mummy2callum
Its great that you have such a good support network. You have only been in your position for a few weeks, but it must be terribly hard for you right now. Lots of emotions and worries swirling around your head. Lean on friends and family for support, don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Perhaps ask family to babysit for a few hours just so you get a bit of a break away from your son.
Apart from when my son 7 is at school, I don't get much of a break from him, and some weekends I crave it. On the whole though, things are ok for us. I do have family, but no support really. (my little moan over) ;)
I hope you are ok.
Take care
Alison

Hi mummy2callum welcome to One Space, we all need support from our friends and family if we have them. Even if you are a 2 parent family a support network is a much needed thing! I thinnk we all feel that we have overdone the needing people, but we are human and thats what we do. :)
Have you had any news of your ex?
hello mummy2callum
You need to have a really good think about what you want. It is really important for your son that he has consistency, coming and going will be the verey worst for him so try to stay calm and work out what is best for everyone
Take care
Sending loads of strength your way.
It can be so very hard, I know.
Hi mummy2callum
It is certainly understandable that you have major trust issues here, that is only natural. Did he give you a explanation? Do you know why he did it? Was it a problem on is part or was the relationship not working anyway?
It would be really good to get some counselling for yourself at some time soon, as that major trust issue may linger for future relationshps and may change the way you parent your child too.
I am wondering if all the discussions that you are having are going well? Whether you feel in control of it? Whether decisions are being made through hurt and anger? Or clearly so that it works out the best firstly for your child, but all who are involved?
I sympathise with you, I can honestly say I don't think it would have made it much easier if you had known he was going to leave.
It is hard being a lone parent when you are so used to doing it as a couple. If you ever want a chat just message me :) Good luck
