Me and my husband are going through a separation right now due to a lot of things but his emotional cheating is on top of the list. I went no contact for 2 months after it happened again.

So, in the week I do everything including night wakes, day time and even when he’s back from work I still do it all! He works so absolutely fine with that. But, over the weekend I’d like some help.

My little girl is just over 2.5 years old, and has been going to nursery for 3 days a week since she was 1. She has always been happy to go in, but the last two sessions she’s been upset when I drop her off and I don’t know why. I’ve tried asking her but she doesn’t tell me why she is upset. She has been extra emo...

My 3year old started nursery in august. Absolutely loved the settling in sessions for 2 weeks it was a fight at home time to get him home.

I feel so alone , my marriage seems to be in a bad spot and I just want to feel like I’m loved . We fight all the time and he pushes me away and I feel like he hates me . Am I being over dramatic ?

Has anyone split from their partners since the baby has been born? I need to throw him out. We are so unhappy and argue so much I've just had enough. The thought of not having my baby a couple times a week kills me I don't want to be away from her 😭

Husband and I decided on divorce a couple of months ago and have been separated since. We are working through our finances before we go through the divorce process.

My partner has a demanding job and he leaves the house Monday-Friday between 6-6:30am and returns home between 7-7:30pm so he often doesn’t see our child during the week. He also works Saturdays from 7-3pm. I do all the morning and night routine and day care drop off/pick ups and work 4 days a week. I’m considering ...

My partner and I decided to separate last night, it’s been on the cards for a while to be honest. I don’t know where to begin now.

My nearly 1 year old has been at nursery for just under 3 weeks. He’s completely unsettled, refuses to eat there, barely sleeps if at all, sick, screams etc. I’m honestly at a loss.
