Can you're mother take care of the kid while you sort things out?? It's traumatic for a child to lose a parent, and when the other one is depressed it's even worse. Good luck.

Feather, I'm so sorry to hear that. My prayers and best wishes are with you. I don't know what to say.

School is important. You shouldn't have been so self centered.

Awww feather I feel so bad for you. That jackass didn't know how wonderful you are and he will regret this. He better have an easy life as he obviously won't be able to handle any thing that might not focus on HIM. Hugs little girl, just take care of yourself Please!

Ugggh.... another bipolar gets dumped story....god I hate that feeling too....

seems like we all hate that loneliness until it is unbearable don't it? No wonder we have deep fear of being alone.

If he didn't stay, my experience only (relationship wise) it is probably better. Might not feel like it, but what if you had gotten married, then he left? To me that would be worse.

Just a thought. Focus on your child, probably she is hurting from this too. sucks being adult and bipolar dont it?

.. and you shouldn't be acting like that around your child. you're probably scaring the poor kid. We are suppose to be where they can go for security. You need to talk to a therapist.

Yes (tongue in cheek) just turn off that pain with that little switch you have. A little harsh orb.

WTF orb?

Look out for your daughter sweetie, I know its tough on you, but hang in there!

More harsh when the child develops some severe problems as a result of seeing her security in constant turmoil. Sorry you can see it like it is nutx.. denying it isn't going to do anyone any good. The whole problem is that feather needs to get help so she can be there for those who need her. If honesty is harsh then get out of the kitchen.

Soo, orb3d you're basically saying I deserved it? Do you even know how supportive I was with his schooling? He has been treating me like shit because I have come online to find support, and some of them happened to be male. So before you start judging, know what the hell you're talking about. My daughter is just fine. Watching spongebob as we speak, I cried in my room, thank you very much.

I don't know featherby too well.But I reckon she needs a little less judgements cast about her abilities as a mother.

Surely the fact she posted this shows how much she does care about the situation.
Plus, don't forget it's a break-up with the many nuances and pains of that alone.
Sheesh.
I hope people can reach without slapping.

Atta girl feathers, you will be fine you know you are a strong woman

Yes Pluck this is a SUPPORT site after all!

Feather, you will get through this. Orb is not being very nice. You need to find someone to talk to physically right now. Do you have friends or relatives around?

we only know what you tell us... school is important .. sorry you can't see that ..
