To feel heartbroken

8 replies

Unsureofitall · 30/11/2022 23:16

I posted on here yesterday how I ended things with my boyfriend due to cocaine use and lies. I'm totally done and I know I made the right decision for myself and my unborn child. But I do feel heartbroken. I feel broken that he doesn't really seem bothered about the relationship ending. I feel heartbroken I'm bringing my child into a world where he can only really rely on me. I feel lonely. Even for the past few days, I've started to feel baby a lot more and it's been so nice but I have no one to share it with. I have a hospital appointment tomorrow which I will be doing to alone for the first time. It all feels shit.

You've made the right choice. In time you'll find somebody better.

You don't realise how strong and brave you are to have made that very difficult, but absolutely right decision. You and your baby will be such a great little team. You don't need that waste of space! You are more than enough for Jnr.

Something very similar (very) happened to me so I really relate
It's really hard as I liked him very much.
But it's not healthy being in a relationship with a drug user.
I thought I could ignore it.
In the end he prioritised cocaine above me and my wellbeing.
He may care about you but he cares more about drugs.
I've little sympathy for him or your partner. But I think you're very strong. Keep going. It's the right decision.

You sound like a fantastic woman who is making the best choices for her child and herself.

Dont feel heartbroken, feel proud!

So many people don't have the strength to end things and many leave their children in that situation but you didn't.
He can ruin his life if he wants to but you're life will be full of joy with your baby!

Your life*

You're all too kind. When I first made the decision to end things I felt strong and brave. But the reality of a single parent is setting in and I'm so scared.
