Absent father

I’m wondering if there are any other single mums here raising their little one with an absent father. My daughter is nearly 2 and a half, and I thought by now I would have accepted it… but I still find myself mourning the family I thought she’d have and how this isn’t fair as I’m doing this all alone. Tonight I’m really struggling and honestly just need someone who gets it to talk to. If this resonates with you, please reach out 🤍

Ok so as a mom I get you. But let me tell you my mom she had to do it twice, call it bad luck. She raised me all by herself for 21 years till I got married and my dad never showed up one day. Does it hurt from a girl’s perspective for sure. But the older she’s going to get with him absent the stronger it will make her in life. I don’t mourn my father anymore as I did when I was a teenager and you’re not there yet but she’s gonna act up on you but when she grows older you’ll be her ultimate best friend and her favorite human on this planet. You’re doing great and it’s his loss. So screw him. No matter how hard it is, you don’t know what life has for you or what it protected you from.

Mine just turned 2 her dad is absent and so is my family. We are doing good on our own it honestly gets better… I hope anyway

Mine is almost 3 and has never met her father, he doesn’t want anything to do with her!

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?
