I'm new here...

Hi everyone, I'm new here (obviously) and don't really know where to start so thought I'd say a little bit about myself.
I'm a single mum to a 4 year old boy. His bio father left when I was pregnant. When he was a year old I started dating someone new. He moved in and became the only father my son had known. He was actually a total man-child, compulsive liar and cheat so after nearly 3 years, and a marriage proposal, I kicked him out and am single again.
Honestly I've always felt like a single parent, even for the 2 years when my ex lived with us, as I did all the housework and paid all the bills, etc.
I'm a bit freaked out to be honest as I've never really been single. I've always had a guy around, even if it wasn't a serious relationship or if it was just a friendship.
I'm mostly enjoying being single - letting my inner control freak out haha. But I do get lonely in the evenings with no one to talk to while I do the housework and no one to chat to about tv or my day or whatever. Also would be nice to have a bit of an ego-boost occasionally but there's no chance of that any time soon.
I work full time and then am home alone every evening. Weekends are mostly spent shopping, sorting he house out, spending time with my baby boy and then the week starts all over again.
Anyway, that turned into a bit of a ramble (told you I have no one to talk to!!) sorry, but hi everyone.

Hi rogue faith nice to meet you.

I've been on my own (sort of) with my 2 for just over a year now. I sat sort of because I lived with my parents for a while and me new partner will be moving in with me before Xmas. But I'm currently at my house with my kids, they've both in bed now and I'm quite lonely hence why I'm on bnb! It can be hard being so busy in the day, working and caring for the kids, keeping the house in order etc, that when it comes to the evening I find myself so bored as everything suddenly comes to a halt.

It's scary to be on your own with a LO but it gets easier, you find your own routines and I'm finding my struggle now is allowing my new partner to become a part of my daily life, I'm worried he's gonna mess up my routines!!

The thought of doing it alone and being single can be daunghting but don't worry, you will be fine and I'm sure u know this.
It's better to be single and abit lonely than be with a pr*ck, I've been there lol
I must admit that due to being alone for 2 years I became abit addicted to Facebook, chatting to friends on there in the evening, made me feel less lonely. I'd say if u can get a babysitter let yourself have some you time once a month and go out. We all need some adult company and abit of fun in our lives, we aren't just mummys
