Hi There,

I empathise with your situation as I am a single working mother. I had to return back to work just about full time when my husband and I seperated a year ago.

There's a feeling of sadness every time your walk out the door in the morning.

What I can say, is that you (and I) are being good role models for our children. We are independant and using our potential and that has to be inspiring for young ones growing up.

I'm making it a point to plan a fun activity or outing every weekend and at least once during the week, so no matter how tired I am, that's the one thing my daughter looks forward to and it stays with her during the week. Just seeing the smile on her face helps ease me guilt.

The one thing you'be probably heard from a thousand people is probably true; make time for yourself. When you do, you'll feel more relaxed around your child.

Best :)

Anne
