I’m a single mother of four. I’m not going to tell you its easy I feel like I’m failing them all the time, but as long as you do your best and you’re there for her and respect and love her she will be okay. Also, idk how you and her father get along but if anything ever happens and you get angry…no matter what don’t talk disrespectfully about him or to him in front of her…and don’t allow him to trigger you by disrespecting you in front of her period. It may not be easy but keep your composure and get your point across without showing anger or negative emotions…trust me.

thanks me and her dad were together for 2 years and this past week was when things went down so it's still fresh I try to stay positive I tried to make things work in the relationship but nothing seemed to work and it seemed like I was the only one trying he says I ruined his life

Hi take care of your own happiness, I know it’s hard but make sure you get some time to focus on yourself and mental state. Mama is not happy baby won’t be happy. Celebrate the little things with your baby. I’ve been a single mom of 2 for 4 years now. I’ve never been happier. It has its challenges but so is life. There are lots of single moms out here raised great kids. You got this girl as single mom somehow the universe gives out this super strengths for us. Keep on pushing on💗

thanks so much I appreciate it

Okay for one I can super relate to you because I was with my ex bd for only 2 years as well and we have a baby girl, she's 2 now and let me tell you something he says I'm crazy and that it's all my mom's fault the way I am, but I ain't gonna put up with no BS 💯, I did same thing by trying to make it work, but failed every time, I've only been a single mom for only 10 months or so cause I literally just left him last year, it's been pretty rough, but my advice is if you got any and I mean ANY lingering feelings for your ex. Bind'em and crush'em sweetheart like seriously they only gonna make thing's worse and be sure to keep your head up cause if you look down you won't be able to see the opportunities in front of you. You'll also miss out on all the special moments with your baby. Just don't ever be so hard on yourself 🙏
