Just need a chat, some help

[Mummygettingthroughit201]

I just can't do this anymore.

I'm stuck in my own head and I can't stop! I left my daughters fathers 4 weeks after she was born because he wasn't a very nice person at all. He was emotionally abusive. My daughter is 6 months old now, she's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful, he hated her didn't want her and she is still the best decision I ever made.

He's taken me to court, has been having her two weekends a month for 2 months now.

I can't cope. I hate not being with my baby. And I hate feeling like I should of just stayed and dealt with being with him it would of been easier. He's made comments about my daughter and me like 'you need to realise it's your separation anxiety from her, not her from you. And she is fine without you. She doesn't need you'

I'm so low. But I have days when im really happy then all of a sudden I'm so down. Like I'm just not at peace with my decisions or my life right now. Maybe she doesn't need me.

I just needed a vent. I don't really know what I'm asking. How do single mummies cope with this 😔

She absolutely does need you

I'm not a single mum but I have dealt with depression, and the highs and lows sound just like that to me. Please speak to people around you, go to your gp and address what you are going through emotionally for yourself and for your daughter. She does need you.

Your ex is being spiteful, and saying these things to upset you, please speak to someone in real life and let them know how you are feeling. Ask for support.

I know that it is incredibly hard but you are more resilient than you know. I watched my mum navigate a divorce and single parenthood wonderfully, we thought she was amazing, she thought she was a mess. Use his weekends to recharge and care for yourself, use the time productively, it will get easier.

Sorry if I'm waffling, your post worried me. Do you have anyone you can call now?

He's making remarks like that?! Not acceptable. Get legal advice and insist on supervised visits at a contact centre.

Of course she needs you! You have. Duty to keep her safe and him behaving like that does not make me think he's going to foster a good relationship that will be happy and safe for your daughter.
