Single mom of teen

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hi Everyone,

I am a single mom of a 15 yr old girl. We lived with my boyfriend for a few years after my divorce, but now we live alone.

I am dating someone, but we only see each other one night a week and every other wkend. 

My problem is that now my daughter is busy with friends and having sleepovers and such on my weekends(she goes to her dad's house on alternate wkends) and I am just lonely. I know that I will have to get used to it because she will be going away to college in a couple of years, but it's so hard.

It seems like most of my friends that live close by all have families and are busy on the wkends. I do go out with friends some and go to the gym.

Are there any other single moms out there that have gone through this?

 

It seems like it took me so long to get used to being responsible for someone else and now its all ending so quickly and I am not sure how to handle it. :(

 

Sorry if this sounds whiney. I am happy she has friends and is a happy and healthy 15 yr old. It's just lonely

Mine is 11 and I know that time is coming. I'm going to have a rough time adjusting too. hug.gif
