    Hi Reha,

    I am a divorced father and miss my son terribly.

    I don’t think there is anything wrong with ‘living for your children’ because I know how easily they can be taken away. However, you do need to get balance and love yourself also. You need some ‘me’ time where you can have a life outside of your children if only for a short time each week.

    Good luck and keep strong.

    Hi Lee

    Thank you for your kind and encouraging words of support. You’re right. I’ve started to have some ‘me’ time. I do voluntary work with 3 different organisations throughout the week whilst the kids are at school which I enjoy doing and get great satisfaction out of doing so. I also make time to go play badminton with my friends at least once a week. I make myself time to watch movies at home after the kids are in bed at least once a week and on occasions go out every once in a while. I’m improving slowly but surely. I live my life without having a care as to what others may think of me as I am now discovering myself and beginning to like who I am.

    My strength and willpower are my children and my friends and I’ve gained enough confidence to know what I am good at best. I will continue to live and not let life live me anymore.

    Warm wishes

    Reha
