Worried about not being good enough

So my abusive marriage is coming to an end. I forced the situation due to growing up in a very toxic household, and have every understanding of the damage it causes and wanted better for my daughter. So I know I'm making the right choice on this one. But now I have made the decision the enormity of the situation is setting in.

How do I do a good job of this? I mean things like Christmas and holidays just panic me! I do work part time in a fairly involved managerial role, but will be entitled to some universal credit. All the same I'm aware that things will be exceptionally tight. Holidays are going to be pretty simple, if possible at all. How do I make sure she gets all the sparkle of a family Christmas!?

How, when or if the time is right, do I go about introducing a new bloke to the equation. I just want to be the best mum I can be, and I'm worried. I just don't want her to loose out, because of my marriage failure.

You’re doing amazing to be getting your daughter out of that situation. I know its been said before but really what children need is your love. You don’t need to spend a million pounds to make Christmas special.
