I've been with my boyfriend who's not my babies dad since I was 10 weeks pregnant I had my baby 7 days ago and abiut 3 weeks ago he moved into my mums with me before lockdown everything was going well but even though I'm 28 my mum is extremely controlling, he has a daughter from a previous relationship which his ex won't let him see unless she is there as she wants him back even though they haven't been together in over a year, anyway yesterday he said he couldn't deal with how boring the house is as my mum is really strange with having the TV on in the house Confused and wouldn't even let us out for exercise and that he felt guilty being around my baby when he can't be there for his own and he wanted to break up and left back to his old place, I now feel so heartbroken lonely and trapped he's told me we can try again after lockdown but then didn't speak to me all day afterwards because his ex was coming round with there daughter and he has now switched his phone off, I'm so upset at a time when I should be happy about my new baby and nobody understands they just tell me he's a twat for leaving but I understand his reasons I just miss him so much its killing me

Having just had your baby your emotions are all over without having to deal with this. I completely understand. I have been on my own since birth she is now 2 and it is a very lonely time in the beginning so don't feel alone.
Can you talk to your mum about it and try compromise to the living lockdown rules so at least you and your mum can enjoy this amazing time together with your little one. You need to focus on the beautiful human you have brought into the world as they are the ones who actually keep you sane and strong xx

Even the strongest of relationships are being tested,
Moving in together, into your mums with a new born baby is a recipe for disaster.
You won’t get this time back with your baby , forget about him, let him go and concentrate on your baby for the foreseeable future.

Yes He might be getting back with her but honestly you cant do a thing about it

Do you have a place of your own?

Make plans to move out of your moms to be by yourself just you and the baby discount the boyfriend totally
