I need help navigating this…

I just broke up with my partner for a year. And I know that doesn’t seem like much but my daughter loved him… I know she’s going to ask for him. I know she’s too little to understand. I’m hurting. She may hurt. I don’t know how to navigate this and I feel gutted right now… anyone else go through something like this… does anyone have any advice or kind words…

Hey girly, sending you love. I know navigating this new dynamic can be hard. I’ve been there. All I can say is to pour as much energy and love as you can into your baby girl. Extra hugs, kisses, cuddles and quality time. Take her out when you can, even for simple errands and trips. Do your best to make sure she isn’t lacking in that, I think that would make all the difference. She is too little to fully understand the gravity of the situation, but as you said she will probably miss him but that get easier as she gets older. And in the meantime, unless it’s her dad, I’d keep in mind that mind that not every partner you have should have a relationship with your child going forward. Be picky about who you have around her. 🫶🏾 I hope it gets better and feel free to message me if you need to talk.
