Hi All

Im Pete from Worcester 38yrs, single parent with 5 daughters, yep you read correct 5 daughters all living with me at home, they are a godsend though they have never caused me one once of trouble etc.

Im seperated from there mother after she got up one day, declared she hated us all and left, shes now living at her mums, she contacts the kids twicw a day, but she shows no feeling for them etc, which for me is strang and very hard to understand

I'm sure everything's gonna turn out great for you Pete. Welcome to the forums! You'll surely find some friends here.

Best of luck with yer search!

Hi Peter

Well i'm a single Mum of 2 young children, cant understand how your wife could have just left like that ....... I was single for many years, give or take a few short realtionships, and it's definatley very hard to find that special someone who is willing to come 2nd in a realtionship, as your kids will always come first, of course. The hardest thing is finding time to get to know that new person in your life without interruption.

However, that person is out there and if its only companionship your after then i'm sure you will find what your looking for and if you have a good family network, i'e plenty of babysitters then even better ............... x

Welcome to the forum Pete ... First and foremost I have to say I admire you greatly, and I know right now it may seem that you having the girls might mean you'll never meet someone, It will happen, like Anne-Marie I brought my two boys up alone, and like you I havent had one ounce of bother with them, but I'm now with the most amazing guy any girl would wish for ....

Good luck, your a star

P.s I met my partner on here

SO GET POSTING

Hi Pete

and welcome to the forums

Father of 5 girls eh?! As a mother of 2 teenage girls you have my every sympathy

Anyway, good luck on here. Love can be found on here as Claudia (Cheekymunkey) can testify.

Cheers Cheekymunkey for the words of wisdom, im sure Mrs Right will come my way soon enough, it all takes time and having the girls round me has been a godsend and its helped me cope a great deal. and im glad that you have found happiness once more

"Redoctober", you had me woried there, i run a 4x4 forum/website and one of my admins is also called redoctober, so thought he had stalked me ere ..lol.

anyhow the 2 oldest 13 and 15yrd olds are at a party in the village tonight, so im sat ere worried what they are getting up too..the joys of perenthood

Some people do seem to think that men have cornered the market on upping and going...and to a certain extent that seems to be more socially acceptable.
All I can say is, no matter how well you think you know someone (eg married for years, got kids together) until you walk in their shoes and live inside their head, you can never truly know or fully understand what motivates them to do what they do.
I would suggest not even trying to 'understand' the whys and wherefors, and concentrate on yourself and your children.
(and being a mother who left her kids for reasons I wont go into here, yes its far better than infanticide, suicide, unhappiness all round etc.).
I wish you well, and hope you and your children find happiness once more.
