[ Original Post ]

who are you supposed to talk to when you haveno friends or family where you live and you just want to give someone a hug and to tell you that everything will be ok. I feel so lonely with my ex's family givingme a hard time and him just wont give it up about up getting back together. But i dont love him and i would rather be happy and single then with him and not hapy ↓

call your family...or if theyre (the ex and family) giving you a hard time...can you move back to where your family is?...if thats not an option...daycare / babysitter for a couple of hours a week and find a hobby course you will enjoy...meet new friends and get some stress relief....You are not alone and would be surprised with who you may meet!
Hope you feel happier soon :-) ↑

are you in australia?
you should be applicable for relief from the govt...if you are recieving benefits you will be applicable for 100% coverage...(up to a limit of course...e.g daycare charges 5.00 an hour govt will give 100% of maximum 3.90 an hour you pay the difference) ↑

sorry i read that wrong...you dont want to put a baby in for more.
have you tried talking to some of the other mothers that pick up their kids...a smile warms everyone up :-) ...what about work friends? ↑

yeah i get along with the ladies at work there is one girlthere bout my age but i am not going to palm my daughter off to her she has her own life. Its not that i want time apart from my daughter its just i want frineds. I am from bundaberg. where are you from ↑

Name: marija | Date: Jan 8th, 2007 9:38 AM

im from brisbane....i think you misunderstood me :-)
i meant for friends someone from work or another mother...maybe a mothers group?...dont know if you like that sort of thing or not...the only other suggestion i have is a class of some sort...maybe one that has childcare within the class...ask at centrelink...they may have some sort of connections for you
i know bundeburg isnt that big...but you never know what you may uncover there : ) ↑
