Toddler Coping
So I am very fresh in the process. 2 year old toddler is asking for “dada” here and there. “Where’s dada?” “Call dada?”
It’s breaking my heart. I’m working on reading parenting books and listening to podcasts, seeking help for myself, etc.
But life is hard. Basically, it sucks right now. Just got my own place, trying to settle in and grasp that this is my life right now at the ripe age of 36.
We split up due to some serious addiction/gambling issues and a whole multitude of other lies and deceit, so I’m not really regretting things. Just feeling sorry for myself, while trying to advance my career and be there for my kids and be there for myself and … ya know, everything else. How do you keep it together for your kids while not constantly telling yourself silently that you’ll be alone forever now?
