This holiday season is hitting me extra hard. I am a newly single mom and I didn't have my kids with me on thanksgiving for the first time. I hate my kids father. He betrayed me, lied to me, took advantage of me for years. I gave him my everything. Then he abused me physically and I have a restraining order and we haven't spoken since. It has been a complete shock becoming a single parent to two boys. I don't know what I'm doing. I just got back from the mall with them because they wanted to go to the trampoline park they had there. We stopped at the food court for dinner on the way out and I just started crying. I'm lonely. I'm jealous of the families that were there together.
Yes, I am in therapy, and yes I take an SNRI.

The holidays are always tough for me too. Last Christmas I was alone, my husband and daughters were on the east coast, my mother in law was dying. I have alot of arthritis pain and can’t fly across the country anymore. I also feel very lonely on holidays. Holidays seem to make a bad situation feel worse. Sending you a smile and a hug🫂😊
So glad you shared with the group.Holidays can be a hard when you are dealing or working through a sad situation. I have been there. I was thankful you took your boys to the mall and wanted them to have a good time, keep up the good work! Is your family close by, hoping you can receive some support from them too. Don't hesitate to share how things are going, want to be here for you.
