I am a first time mum and my partner is going into his basic training soon!
This will be the longest time we’d have spent apart since being together as well as time apart from him and the baby.
He will be coming back every now and then during the 2 phases which is a positive!
Has anyone else been through this or in a similar situation and how did you cope???
As well as this I don’t have any of my family near me nor friends as have moved to a new area due to certain circumstances.
I do also attend one mum group but it’s only once a week which me and the baby love going too!
Any advice would be appreciated or even someone to connect with in a similar situation!

I'm in a similar sort of situation except I'm the one in the military. I've done 3 months+ away from home and quite a few shorter lengths as well as 10 months away when we first got together. I get what its like to have no one near you as we are always moving. ❤️

If you have a partner, you’re not a single Mum then
