[quote=Anonymous]I am a newly single mom and close to a sole parent. ExDH has launched himself into a new relationship, there may or may not have been overlap, and is even more checked out. I have had to go to work which has been a rocky transition with 2 SN kids. ExDH has not been too involved with the kids and they are angry and confused. I have no family in the area and few friends. I'm really struggling to hold it together and get everything done. The kids have attention issues and are hard to manage in the morning and at night, when I am exhausted myself. I am really grieving the life I wanted for the kids, we are now in a 1 BR apt for 3 of us. I've had to cut back on their therapies, 2 downsized homes are still more expensive. One child has an ODD diagnosis and it is so hard to stay patient with no breaks and no backup (kids live with me full time). Any words of advice or wisdom that we will get through this and maybe thrive some day? I am so isolated and just feel drained. [/quote]
