Nobody wants me and DD do they?

Well that's how it feels.

Husband left 5 weeks ago without a backwards glance. Left his job and is living rent free with a friend.

PILs only contact me if they want DD, they never tell me if they can't have her until I'm on my way to take her round, they never contact me between, they never even like my photos on Facebook.

A group of local mums I thought I was friends with had a big meetup for one of the childrens birthdays today, neither DD nor I were invited.

And when I moaned at my DM she told me I needed to grow up and deal with it because this is my life now.

No-one wants us around, and I feel so awful. DDs so lovely I know I'm bias and although has her issues isn't badly behaved, her Nursery tell me she's great with other children and will happily let them play with her. She shares packs of crisps or sweets with her cousins or little friends.

I just don't get it Sad

Husband is a cunt
PIL will always have his back and don't count on anything from them and consider your social media access
Your Mother sounds like mine and maybe she will come around and be softer presumably she is stoic type?
Friend is shitty but probably just bad luck and you will make better Ones when she starts school

It's shit shit shit but it will get easier and better but you are in the position of having to rebuild and it's really really hard Flowers

Onwards and try and focus on having treats and happy things for you and DD every day

Make a cake , have. Face mask just be really kind to yourself as there is nothing wrong with you it's just the shitty luck right now

Your mum was being a bit mean - it's only been a little over a month! As for your pil, suggest you put stronger boundaries in place. If it really helps you for them to have dd , follow the suggestion of a pp on next time they screw your around. If you are doing it for them, say actually you think it would be better if your ex arranged visits with them in his time with dd, you are finding vsibg a single mum hard enough. Even if it's only for a few weeks it should help them remember that they should treat you with some respect still. On your side you need to remind yourself they aren't your family anymore. And you don't owe them anything.

The friends thing is hard. Could be they aren't great friends after all, could just be a temporary thing as they don't know how to handle it? I'd give it some time not burn bridges I guess. Although I can't imagine my group of friends doing that to someone.
