Letting go isn't easy, especially when it entails facing all the difficulties of single parenthood alone.
"Let go or be dragged" was the motto that helped me.
Also - focus on a goal that's separate from all this (I learned to play the drums when my ex left, great therapy). Make a big collage vision board of the things you want to attract into your future life, and put it where you will see it every day. Read books on frugality to help you feel more in control of your finances (I loved the Tightwad Gazette books).
Flirt with other men (even if you have no intention of dating yet - just smile at cute men that you pass on the street.)
