Hi there
It feels comforting to have found this site and forum - thank you Kate & Emily and others.

My partner is making arrangements to move out of our family home on a temporary separation. We haven't discussed any details as yet, as it's still early, we're both new to this and upset and angry and I am currently away with friends.

Hi,

I am mother to an 8 month old beautiful baby girl. I feel completely blessed to have her.

All my mummy friends are in a couple and I have done the whole of my pregnancy and the last 8 months partnerless. My family and friends have been fabulous but I do feel like the only single parent in sevenoaks which can be lonely.

I saw last year a group used to meet up in Sevenoaks. Does this still happen or would any single parents fancy meeting up for a coffee? It would be great to talk to someone who can relate to my situation.

Any replys greatly welcome.

I wonder if anyone has experienced a similar situation to this and could offer some wisdom?
I have recently separated from my partner. My ex and I were together 5 years and have a 2 year old son together. My ex was married before and has 2 daughters from that relationship, aged 8 and 10.

Has anyone else here found themselves 'single' due to being widowed?

I'm not divorced, I'm not seperated, my husband died suddenly, leaving me with an 18month old and 3 months pregnant with another. We were madly in love and had so many plans for our future together.

Amongst the terrible things we've all had to deal with I've been finding it hard to find my identity and where I fit in.

Am I a single parent? Am I a lone mother? Am I a widow?

Sounds silly but I need an idenity.

Are there any single parents in the Sevenoaks area? I have looked on Mumsnet and Netmums for local Gingerbread groups and lone parent organisations and cannot find any. I have lots of lovely local friends but they are all happily married. Sevenoaks seems to be the centre of happily married, successful families and I don't know anyone around here in my situation. I could do with a friend who is a single parent.

I'm 37, university educated and was a primary school teacher before having my little boy (aged 2).
Would love to hear from anyone in similar circs and near me!
