Newly Single Mother
These past few weeks I decided to split from my partner. I felt like he wasn’t making the best choices to support me during pregnancy and very emotionally demeaning at times. I cried everyday for two weeks up until my decision because of how unhappy I was.
I had lived with him three hours away from my hometown so I felt very lonely especially when he would stay out during the weekends and come home at anytime he wanted. Now that I’m back with my family I’m happy but the decision has been very hard. It’s hard to accept those feelings of neglect and abandonment- especially since he hasn’t been able to take accountability for anything.
If you’re a single mom or have any words of support or advice I would really appreciate it. I’ve been journaling everyday and seeing my counselor but it still gets lonely sometimes.

Hey sis, I’m in the same boat as you. I broke up due to feeling alone and sad all the time with my baby’s father too. I’ve learned to cling onto God during this time and he’s teaching me to be strong for my baby. Even though I still feel the hurt he’s caused me, I’ve learned to find joy in other things and have been learning to enjoy my pregnancy with out him. 🫶🏾 If you need to talk feel free to message!
Hi! You are very strong and you are doing what’s best for your mental health! I am also going through something similar. Im 23 weeks, ftm, and about to be a single mom and I moved out of my old apartment with bf and broke up with him bc it was just a toxic and manipulative relationship. I felt as though he nvr fully was going to commit to me and now I’m with my sister starting over. It’s tough at times but I’m getting through. I say all this because you are doing the right thing. Keep yourself busy and do things for your health. Therapy is so beneficial and keeping a healthy circle.
