Lost

I remember what it felt like to make that decision when my first baby was three months old. I reached a point where I knew I had to choose peace, so I cut ties and blocked him. It wasn’t easy. In fact, the experience affected me so deeply that I eventually had to speak with a mental health doctor.
Looking back, I realise that leaving wasn’t me giving up on my family. It was me choosing a healthier environment for my child and myself. A child deserves to grow up seeing genuine love, peace and stability not simply two parents together at any cost.
So to you who has just left your boyfrd with a threemonth-old baby: please don’t measure your decision by how difficult today feels. Give yourself time to heal. You may have moments of doubt, loneliness and fear, but that doesn’t automatically mean you made the wrong decision.
Your son will one day understand that you chose peace and protected the environment he grew up in. He can be proud of a mother who had the courage to walk away..
