I feel like I'm drowning with depression. I love my daughter so much and can't imagine my life without her now but I have made a mistake of who I have had a baby with. To narrow it down we weren't together long and his mum disagreed with us being together and didn't speak to him for months because of religious reasons, my family also said it wouldn't work... anyway I fell pregnant and we were in love so we didn't care about anyone's opinion. My pregnancy was awful because of all the conflict and I wasn't speaking to my family and neither was he. Fast forward she is now 8 months old Our relationship hasn't been easy although now our family's are back to normal and his mum adores our daughter (even though she is slightly controlling). We are so different, we are worlds apart from each other and we both want different things. I'm scared to be on my own with a baby but I know it isn't going to work for much longer. He is fantastic with our baby and I know there's no doubt of him providing for her and being a great dad. We are just not meant to be together and it's having a massive impact of my mental health. I don't really like his family very much they're quite dysfunctional and I'm terrified that if something happens to me that they will all be bringing her up.
This is just a brief outline as it would take me hours to go into everything. I guess it's easier for me to write it down because I can't really speak to anyone in person and they will just say I told you so which I don't need to hear right now.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation or can offer any advice? Thanks x
