Now a single mum

For a few months we had been arguing and yesterday he decided he’s going to leave but commit everyday to nursery pick up and seeing his daughter etc as till I’m home from work. He moved from a different city to live with me meaning his job is in my city and he’s going to have to drive 45 minutes everyday there and back to fulfill his promises which I do think he will hold to. I’m distraught, my previous relationship ended abruptly and I feel I’m now back in the same place again 4/5 years on. Our daughter turns 1 on friday and we are having a big get together with family from both sides coming over and I don’t know how I’m going to present being so happy knowing I’m now a single mum and this is not what I had pictured for my future I literally feel like I hate my life and myself for letting my daughter be born into this mess. On Friday he is wanting us all to go out together to the park and I just can’t see myself going back to the place we used to go and where we went when she was first born. I feel beside myself and just can’t see me ever being happy again. Anyone else in this situation or have been?
