I'm looking for advice. I'm a single, loving mum who feels like she's had it hard over the last 4 years and in the meantime has experienced a diminished lost in all communication with her 13 year old daughter. I'm really, really sad and am reaching out to anyone that may be able to help in any way and hopefully give me hope.


Thank you in advance xxx

Well done for reaching out! It is so hard and I can imagine that lockdown and everything else relating to covid has made things really too.

Is there anything in particular you?d like support with and maybe some people on here can help to point you in the right direction for support? Gingerbread is a great resource. X

Many years ago I joined Gingerbread following a breakup of a relationship. I had a 6 year old daughter at the time.

As time went on I became the Welfare Officer for the local group and found companionship with other single parents.

I met my husband at the group and we have now been married 38 years, we each have a daughter by previous relationships and 'our' daughter

Be strong! You are not alone



It's courageous to speak openly about your feelings as a single mom I look up to you and admire your boldness to speak up


You are far from weak.


So continue ....I will too


Knowing I am not the only single mom out here or there

Speaking as someone who was once a very difficult teenager to loving parents (who also split, causing lots of bitterness and hurt on my part as well as on theirs) please know that she loves you dearly.. She prob won't admit it or even know how much for years to come but bear with it. She's hormonal and every teenager rebels and wants independence, which unfortunately often means pushing parent(s) away.


Hope you get some support, reach out to friends and family - they will hopefully be understanding too xxx

    • I'm going to have some going spare shortly, having just moved into the area.  They have been used a couple of times but should still do the job! 
    • Full time 30 hours funding from September.  MT
    • Caught him a few years ago at a bizarre gig in Canterbury and know his London agent.  Sad but he wants a well man.  It was a pleasure to have seen him a few times, always different!  Hadn't realised he had been a local.
    • Stewart Lee, who I have seen numerous times, played a gig 18 months ago in Peckham, turning up late and doing around 12 mins of an expected headliner slot.  He has no social media presence and is uncontactable.  I complained to the ticket agents and promoters to no avail.  Obviously I wouldn't boycott a paper due to this incident. With hard copy print declining more liberal media need support irrespective of how easy it is to pick holes.  The decline of regional and local papers has compounded the issue of so many drawing their information from the right wing/populist press, and unverified reports on social media.
