Help for single parenting in Ireland
From people who came through it
“If 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.”
quietbass · been through single parenting“A 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.”
bikeblue1964 · been through single parenting“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I told my siblings exactly what I needed instead of hoping they'd notice and go slowly.”
hillamber78 · been through single parenting“I was right where you are in 2023. Sick days with no backup. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. x”
