From people who came through it

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself so I wasn't, and it made everything harder so I had to ask for help and it nearly killed me, but it was the right thing, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

    Noel P. ยท been through single parenting
  • โ€œHi, you. I was where you are this time last year. Back then, their dad pays nothing. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.โ€

    nishabus1994 ยท been through single parenting
  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Dating feels impossible. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ€
