From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. good enough is enough. keep going, even slowly.โ€

    Hine J 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€

  • 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€œA note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. Their dad pays nothing, and I couldn't see past it. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart.โ€
