So I’m pretty terrified. My husband left me and our daughter (1yo) in February this year. 10 year relationship that I was happy in just came to an end out of the blue one weekend. 
I have been living with my parents 8 hours away from him, just trying to raise our daughter and recover from the trauma. I tried to get on my feet here but I left my career behind when I moved, and couldn’t find any comparable jobs. It’s a very small town with very limited opportunities. So I need to get my life back and an income back. My old job approached me and offered my job back and I somehow struck it lucky and found some childcare that lines up too. The offer was too good to pass up, even though if I go back, I leave my family and support network behind. Although I have friends that will help me, it’s not the same as family.
My ex husband has also been very emotionally manipulative and cruel for the last 6 months, and I will be moving back to the same town as him. We seem to get along sometimes but I am so hurt by him, that I don’t know how I will stand facing him regularly. 
I will be moving back in to the house we own together and he will be moving out. So I will be living there alone, with our daughter, and 2 dogs. She is such a well behaved child but I’m so worried the move will upset her. And it will be just me to look after her. 
Sometimes I feel strong and determined to get my life back together. But right now I just feel sick with worry. What if I can’t do this? What if I am making the wrong choice? 
If there are any single mums out there, some words of encouragement would be great. I know I have a huge struggle ahead of me. And I’m very scared to start.
