Applied for application forms

[DKNI]

I have just sent off some emails to 2 universities here to ask for an application form to do a social work degree.

I have no idea if I would even get close to being accepted onto the course but I thought I would give it ago.

I know I will need to try and do some volunterr work as well and to be honest I have no idea how to combine all this with being a single mum but need to try.

After all you get more done when you are busy.

Please send lots of good thoughts out into the ether so that I can get the course and job that I want and then I can provide for my babies the way I want too.

And I can have something fab for me and only me without any input from anyone else

Best of luck Andie, I am totally in awe of how well you are doing :bow:

[DKNI]

S that is nice of you to say but to be honest I don't think I am doing anything that good. I am more worried that I am ignring my problems and that they are going to come back and bite me.

I dread the moment when W decides to tell everyone about his feelings for someone else.
I am scared witless and being on my own for a long time as I miss the company and the friendship.
I don't want to be the only parent in my kids lives
I feel sick at the thought of the kids being away from me for 3 weeks in the summer.

But if I think about these things for too long I wouldn't get out of bed let alone leave the house so i just plough on and hope that one day I convince myself that I am alright as well :lol:

What you are doing is making the best of a bad situation. There is no right way to deal with things, but setting yourself goals and giving yourself a reason to get up in the morning is a good way to start.

Let W do what he wants, and this whole situation is his loss.

Is there any way of you going to Holland in the Summer?

One parent is better than none, and certainly better than two unhappy ones.

When the time is right you WILL meet someone. What is more, it will be someone who knows you as the caring self-sufficient mother you are and who will accept you as such.:smile:

I just hope that I can get on the course. And I need to make sure that I force myself to go for it and not just wish my life away.

I vaguely remember filling in the UCAS forms the first time round.

Do you think speaking dutch will be seen as an advantage :lol:

That's brilliant Andie!! And don't think of it as ignoring your problems, I think it is much more difficult to make the effort to move on with your life. Most people would want to spend months and months wallowing. Good on you :grin:

:hug:
