about to be a single mom...

Here in a couple weeks I'm separating from my husband and moving into an apt with my 3 boys. I got with my husband when I was 17 and I'm 24 now. I have never been alone, bc I moved in with him right when I turned 18. I'm extremely anxious, and I'm stressing so much bc I'm so scared to do this alone. Can any experienced single moms give me some reassuring words or advice?

just be strong and remember you can do it, it will be rough, and a big readjustment, but once you get the hang out of and everything figured out and get in a new routine, you'll be fine :-)

Will he be disappearing from the children's lives?

No....he's got some terrible anger issues, but he will get supervised visits once a week. Idk what happened to him, he used to be so great. Now he has turned into an emotionally and mentally abusive monster.

God I hope so. My sister went thru this same situation a couple months ago, and she's still a wreck....like way depressed.

yea it won't be easy at all, you just have to stay strong, and remember that this it what is best for you and your children, and you will get through it!! I've been a single mom now for 2 years, and it took me a little while for me to get my life on track going the right way, but i'm happy that we are apart now, i realize now how miserable we where together, and how bad that was for our kids

Thank you so much. I know its gonna be better in the long run. I just need to get past that initial shock and lonely feeling. But I guess I do have three little guys to help me thru it right?!

yep definitely   my kids where always a huge motivation for me whenever i was struggling emotionally with things

you will be okey   i broke it of with my sons father because he was so emotionally and mentally abusive guy always been an ass putting me down i could not live a life i was home always through my whole pregnancy i was home alone and he was out with his mates driving round picking up girls and crap i though he would change after our son was born but he helped like first week and just went back to his ways so disappointing its his own son but oh well you cant change people if they don't want to be changed he use to be good at start to but i walked away because i don't want to set that kind of example to my son that you should stay with someone if they treat you bad he will be okay because hes got mummy   believe me you will be fine because seen your kids happy and you feeling independent no one yelling in your face 24/7 you will feel so much more stronger and protective   xx good luck
