Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.
I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.
Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

My partner isn't back to the 20th or 24th of February, 8 weeks home and then 8 weeks away
My ex partner keeps saying things I won't say has it might not be allowed or okay @RiverSeal
Are you finished soon? @RiverSeal ?
There's so much I wanna say but I don't know how or if anyone would understand ❤️

That must be challenging @Sunnyside226 so much time apart from your partner and the time would go quickly when you are together maybe. Are they a FIFO or something similar?
Have you ever called 1800RESPECT about your ex partner? They are really good with relationship stuff to talk to sometimes maybe.
I finish in an hour and that's the end of my working week which will be nice. I have a couple of days off because TAFE hasn't started for the year as yet.
Try me @Sunnyside226 I'll let you know if I don't understand but can maybe be a sounding board for you if you want to talk about things. Happy to chat and happy to listen too!! ❤️
Take care
RiverSeal

Yes they are with the army
I always think I can do 8 weeks on my own but after 3 nights I'm done I feel sooo alone
Isn't 1800respect for females? @RiverSeal
I spoke to my partner 2 nights ago I feel worse because I just want to hug them so tight 😭
Lucky you having some days off
I'm about to cry my eyes out I'm having a bad moment in my head

Sounds tough with your partner in the Army @Sunnyside226 and I'm sure it would be challenging when they are away. It's good that you spoke with them the other day and is that usual that you only speak every couple of days or so?
Anyone can call 1800RESPECT and they can support you with all sorts of things about relationships with other people.
What can you do rn @Sunnyside226 that will get you through? It's ok to cry though so if you need to it might be good to let it out. I'm sitting here with you!!
