I've been a single Mum now for 18 months. My partner of 11 years cheated. We have one child, a 3.5 year old. I constantly feel like I'm not good enough for him, that I'm never doing enough. When he goes to his Dad's house, he's surrounded by family (ex in laws), but when he's with me it's just us in our 4 bed home and the dog. He always wants me to play with him but I'm tired. I try to take him places all the time, but I still always feel guilt about something. I don't know, I guess it just feels lonely. Stuck. I just want to feel happy again. I love my son so much.

I feel the same as you after having recently separated from my partner. It's so lonely at times and I keep thinking how will I ever meet anyone else, not that I'm ready for that just yet. Don't feel guilty, we are doing the best we can given the circumstances. As Mums we always feel guilt over something but it's important to keep things in perspective.
