Hi All, I'm Candice, 22years old and I have three boys aged 2 years and twins of 5 months.

I'm really battling at the moment as I am working a full day while D at creche and J&G are at home, I'm finding it hard to be patient with the kids as I'm exhuasted at the end of the day.

I have been on my own for two months now and although I know that this is for the better I feel so down in the dumps. Ihave no time for friends or myself even and just feel isolated

I'm glad I came across your post. I am 8 months pregnant and soon will be going thru the same thing. My last relationship left me extremely isolated from friends and family, however chats and work are helping me to become social again. I know when I get down or stressed out I just take a nice long bath or read. I also think about one day my son saying "Thank you mom for being so awesome and choosing to do it on your own instead of keeping us a broken home!" and seeing him achieve all of his goals...this really pushes me. It also helps that my ex was a complete jerk and abuser...i find power in his ignorance and that pushes me a lil harder when i feel like giving in..Hope that helps a lil...all your hard work will pay off and you'll be a better person because of it..and so will your childern!!!
