[37F] Overcoming feelings of jealousy for my ex [37M]

You find it incomprehensible that I decided to keep my children?

Yes, I do. You knew he was leaving you, you knew it would be tough.

I clearly stated I am rocking single Mum life.

Where? You posted the exact opposite: a catalogue of things you hate about it.

I am embracing motherhood. My life doesn't suck.

Again, your post argues othewise.

I should've aborted my kids.

Well it would have avoided the following:

My self esteem is at a low. I feel like a grumpy old tired looking tramp while he is mixing with truly gorgeous women, dancers etc. I won't even have my face on pictures with my babies because I look so rough. I'm not just thinking I look rough, I do. I've got bags under my eyes, some mornings I don't have time for a shower until dinner. Babies vomit on me. My breasts and wardrobe are a shadow of their former self. I haven't been this thin for 20 years. I barely got chance to eat when they were newborn. I could look better than ever but I look in the mirror I just wince.
