If you feel like you have tried everything and you can't make this relationship work sometimes endings need to happen....I think you need to come to peace with it and start looking forward to your new life. Sending love ❤️

You'll probably feel a huge weight has been lifted after you have grieved the relationship. I wouldn't wish this on anyone as its so difficult, especially with a child however you WILL see the light. Takes time x

I know it's hard in the beginning. You'll be perfectly fine.

You take care of yourself and your child. Be present as often as you can.
There are resources to help you find work and navigate childcare.
Starting over will always be better than settling, suffering in silence, and withering away with someone who isn't loving you the way you need to be loved.
Rooting for you!
