Impact on a child if your other has a Dad

[Daisydaisy3]

I really want to have another child. I am no longer with my husband. My experience of motherhood wasn't a positive one due to a number of issues outside of my control. I feel like I missed so much of the baby years. I also want my child to have a sibling. The thing I'm most worried about would be the impact on the child of seeing their sibling go off to their dad's for half the week and them not having a dad.
Can anyone give me their thoughts or experiences of this if you went down this road? I'm late 30s so don't have the luxury of time to possibly find another partner and I don't think I'd want to either. I think I could offer the child a very loving home but I wouldn't want to deprive them or mess them up with a strange set up if that makes sense

I appreciate you are planning ahead here - but the child to have is the one you need to focus on now - another child just may not happen.

If your child is your only child then think about how you can make yourself a small happy family.

I’m sorry you didn’t have a happy time when they were little but having another child won’t ‘make up’ for this (for you or them). Think about how you can be happy now and how your child can be happy too.

Lots of ‘happy’ there (sorry about that).
