Lately i've been feeling really down thinking about the family I lost when i split up with Neil. I mean we weren't exactly close but it was nice having a mother-in law, father-in-law and brother-in-law.

The only people I have in London are my mum and sister. The rest of my family live up North 250 miles away and a 5 hour drive. I grew up with out a Dad or any of my Dad's family and on my side of the family all I have is a grandma, grandad and uncle. No more relatives.

So now with the announcement that my ex-brother in law is going to be a Dad I'm feeling even more down in the dumps. I wish there was a way that I could build bridges with them and get back some sort of a relationship. i am sad that the kids will very rarely see their cousin as Neil only has them once a week as it is and his brother lives about an hours drive away.

Any comments, suggestions, advice?

I am sat here crying right now

maybe sleep will help and youll wake up a lil more on the happy side. Or just take anice long bath and read a good book, something to ease your mind a little bit, when the kids are in bed and im here alone i always think about things alot, to much time to think specialy on negative things.
