I hate being a single mum. I don't want to be a single mum. I feel so alone. My heart is BROKENšŸ˜­ the dad doesn't care at all. He's a cheat he's moved on and he never asks to se who's daughter he doesn't even speak to me AT ALL. He will go months acting like we both don't exist. I hate this I'm so depressed and hurt. I feel so sorry for my daughter. I hate I'm doing this alone with no one to share it with. We was together for 6 years I don't understand how he can do this to us. Our daughter is almost 1. I can't believe this is happening to me I have no motivation to do anything but sit and be sad. My heart is so broken I'm in bits. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Have you heard of the Peanut app? Itā€™s like tinder for mums. You can meet up with people in your local area in similar circumstances to commiserate/chat etc. Maybe it could help to have someone to talk to?

I'm a single mum too, I've been single since conception. I'm struggling too this week as dd is unwell it really hits home how hard being a single mum is but it's amazing how strong us mummies are for our LOs stay strong. Do you have family or friends that support you? Like someone else suggested install the peanut app, a lot of groups on there do meet ups etc x

I can relate to this, I didnā€™t want to be a single mum and it wasnā€™t my choice, so many seem to love in but Iā€™m 4 years in and still hate it. ā˜¹ļø

How long has it been since he left. You need time to grieve. None of us planned to do this alone. Be kind to yourself. It all takes time.

I was equally bereft at the end of my relationship. But you just keep putting one foot in front of the other and go day by day.

Your daughter won't know any different. She has an amazing mum and right now that is all she needs.

Gather good people around you. Seek counselling and talk to your GP it will pass. Dad to many have walked this path before you and come out the other side.
