Has anybody else recently a baby in the past 6 months and has just recently become single? How are you coping? I’m a first time mum to my 3 month old baby girl, split with partner when she was 6 weeks old and I’ve just moved house at the same time I’m feeling a little overwhelmed with everything. Does anybody have any advice?

Oh gosh, I feel you mama! I am in the middle of a high conflict divorce, I left when my baby was 4 months old, but we were struggling long before that. It IS overwhelming. Take the time to grieve, process, and FEEL every feeling that comes up. Your babies are lucky to have you 🩷
For practical steps that have been helpful for me: journaling!! Michelle Chalfant has a ton of journal prompts, and writing letters to myself, my ex, and his mom have been very therapeutic too. I’ve struggled greatly with anger through this process and it’s helped me when I feel angry to physically say out loud, “I’m not angry at _____, what I’m really angry with is ______.” Sending so much love to you!! You are not alone at all, and it will get better! 🥰

I’m 8 months pregnant and my BD has decided to ghost me after 3 year relationship. I’m calling and texting but he’s ignoring it all, I know his phone is on and he’s alive and well

Hi! I’m going through a very similar situation. My daughter is almost 4mo and I split with her dad when she was 10 weeks old. It has been incredibly hard and it hasn’t gotten any easier. My best piece of advice is to remember that your peace and mental health is what matters most because when mama thrives, baby thrives. Just keep taking care of yourself as best as you can! Sending lots of light and love your way 💜
