DianaSingle Motherhood on the cards for me....
May 27th 2008 10:05
So, looks like my husband is about to leave me, so the rumour has been over the past week or so. Oh, not for the reasons you immediately think of, no, nothing like that.
But nonetheless it looks very like he will move out and be working and living a long way from me and his kids.
How do I feel about that? In a word, terrifiied! Plus worried. But mainly just plain terrified.
Can't cope on my own. Can't sleep on my own. Will be lonely on my own.
I want to go with him but he says, no no no!
Apparently it is my job to stay put in this wonderful city of ours with all its fabulous educational opportunites for myself nice, keep my head above the water.
Somehow.
Who will run down to the shops when we run out of milk? Who will fix up the muddles I get into with my credit cards? Who can I rely on to be here or go to parent-teacher nights?
Who will the kids jump on at 6.30 each night, fed up with their tea-cooking and homework-reminding mother?
Who will get us all up in the morning or bring me in my early morning cup of tea?
O me o mi, how is it gonna be?
Actually, I know already how it is gonna be cos I been a 'single' mum before and I know how hard and yet easy and yet hard it is.
I think what I will miss most is the stability of having someone else around, and someone else to talk to. If he was only gonna be an hour or 2 away it wouldn't probably matter so much. But he will be much further.
Oh well, I know someone will be very quick to point out that I'm a whinging whinny, that they are sick of hearing about women living on their husbands' wages and living the 'good life' (let me know when that happens) or that plenty of people live alone or without spouses or as single parents etc.
Oh, gosh, gotta go, the dog has badly head-butted my eldest and she is crying horrifically.
