Newly single mum, I feel lost.

I’m quite sad and I’m a shell of myself atm. I love my ex so much and thought he was forever (as we all do I guess) & I’m shattered. I had to walk away from him as we’re just too different, but now it’s like everything is up in the air and I hate it. I’m about to move out of my mums with my 7 month old, and I’m worried about doing it alone. I’m so scared. I think I’m now just realising how scared I am to be alone.

Show your support

This sounds really hard. You are a really brave person. I hope you can soon heal and figure out your new balance. You've got this :)

Bless you. It will get easier

I went through this a few months ago with my at the time 6mo. You are so much stronger than you think. I was terrified, so much so I went to stay with my parents and almost had them move in with me. After time it gets easier, you’ll become happier and see that life keeps going. You’re never alone now, you have a forever love with you now. You’ve got mum strength now, and so many people to rely on for support. Right here you have friends to help support you through tough times. But don’t ever forget your not alone, not ever anymore xx

Hey babe, I’be recently just gone through this. We cut all ties. Was the quickest way to help with the pain. I got my house painted and now it feels warm and safe. I loved my baby dad so much but I wasn’t happy and that lead to unpeacwful life. I’m 2 months single and I’m now enjoying watching what I want to. Id I don’t fancy cleaning today oh well no one will care. Trust me when I say In a few months your baba will be in bed. And you’ll sit on your sofa, put on a programme you want to watch, maybe even a take away and you’ll breathe and say wow this is how good life really is. If you’re close to Oxfordshire feel free to message me. But o won’t lie to you you do still get days where you’ll think what if but you got. This. Theres a lesson after every break up you just need to find yours and you’ll get strength x

I’m really sorry for what you’re going through right now lovely 😔 I have been through the same. I don’t know if any of this is going to help but here are some of the positives I have found from this situation: - as a single mum YOU get to make your own rules about how you run your home and how you raise your little one - one less person to clean up/tidy after - you have a child together (not sure if you said whether or not he was your child’s father, sorry!) so you will always get to have him in your life in some form - this will make you realise just how strong you are! You don’t need anyone but YOU. Raising a baby is the hardest thing you can do and you CAN do it solo because you’re amazing!
