I've been separated from my partner for two years. I have 3 children 13,9,6 and i work full time as a special needs teacher. My job is intense, tiring and dangerous. I didnt have to work when i was with my partner but he left me with a huge mortgage (trying to sell house)
My problem is that im so tired and guilt ridden all the time. I come home and can barely function let alone check homework, bake cakes etc. my teenager is way too independent and im constantly sneeking off at work to phone him to check where he is. Im so scared my children are going to grow up, hating me for not being there for them all the time.

Wow you do have alot on your plate! I have a moody 12 year old. But I've been a single Mom for over 7 years and i'm about to remarry someone who doesnt have kids and hasn't had many gf's bec he's shy. he's good to me but it's just a huge adjustment.
