Lost and don’t know what to do

[becca2906]

I didn’t know whether to start this thread but I’m so stuck right now. I am debating leaving my partner but I don’t know if it’s how I feel or the actual situation. I had PND after having my son who is now 20 months. My PND care stopped when he turned one as they didn’t offer services after that. We have now moved to a different area so I’m lonely and feel isolated. My son entering toddler stage has been really hard and my partner does absolute bare minimum as he has from the beginning. I am struggling and don’t know where to turn. All I know is I feel like a single parent and I can be a single parent on my own, not being unhappy with a partner. If anyone felt this way and got through it, please tell me how!

Do you feel you would be able to speak to your gp to see if they can offer any further help? You could look for local toddler groups to meet new people/to break up the day. Homestart is a good charity with low cost/free activities (not sure if this is a nationwide charity). Take things step by step before you rush into making a decision.

Thank you, I have looked in the new area and joined an app to meet mums but so far no luck. I hadn’t heard of Homestart so I will take a look. I’m waiting for my registration with the new GP but will go and see them.

Do you have a local Facebook page? For example greater Manchester talk? I’ve seen lots of mums post on my local Facebook page asking for local playgroups/walks/other mums to talk to and all seemed successful.

Thank you, I will try that.
