Relationship breakdown

Has anyone else in this group had a relationship breakdown? I’ve just moved into my mums today with our daughter and I’m so heartbroken. Does it get easier? How are you navigating co-parenting? I never wanted to co-parent I feel so lost and heartbroken.

it does get easier! me and my sons dad broke up in November, we still have a ways to go on working everything out- it’s something that takes a bit of patience and time, but it can work, every situation is very different so i can’t really offer any advice but this unnerving and frustrating stage does ease up

I’m getting to this point I think, we’ve had the chat this evening where I’ve told him it’s make or break, you’ll get there and you’ve got this🫶🏼

It definitely gets easier lovely! I separated my with my sons dad in jan 23 when my son was 5.5 months. At the beginning it was hard solo parenting and trying to navigate coparenting with my ex but now I absolutely love life and how it’s worked out. We have a wonderful co-parenting relationship, once you fall into the groove of single parenting it just becomes a lot easier to manage and cope. And whenever I feel bad about it for my son, I just think how lucky he is really because where he’s only with one of us at a time, the other gets to refresh and so he always gets us at our best. I hope you don’t struggle too much, always here if you ever want advice or someone to chat to 💙

My sons dad left in august, just before he turned 1. He's been absolutely awful to me and very abusive since with the help of the coworker he jamp onto within 48hrs🤣 I also found out I was pregnant again a few days after he left. His priorities where all wrong and such as I tried to "force" him to coparent or just parent, at the start, he now no longer sees our son(Waiting on all the threats of court coming to something)
As hard as it's been tho given all that's went on (he's still harrassing me via email and bank statements) life is great now. Myself and my 20m old have found our routine, we finally got a move into our own home(an absolute dream home), and I'm 38w pregnant so basically ready to welcome my little girl into the world.

It's not easy, no matter how easy/hard you ex makes it. It hurts and it sucks, and parenting alone is hard. But you'll get there. It does take time, but it's absolutely worth it all in the end once you finally come through the darkness 💗

Me and my kids dad broke up about 7 years ago now and it does get easier. We have 3 children together so was a very hard choice and very difficult but We co parent amazling now and we get on so much better then we did when we was together. It takes time it took us about 2 years to get where we are today and we still have our little ups and downs but the kids are in a routine and they kno what days they see there dad and what days they don't and it just works for us x
