Can I do this alone?

[Brookerebecca]

I’m 34 weeks with 2nd child and me and my partner have just broken up. My 2 year old has an operation in 4 days, it’s Christmas in 10 days and my bundle is due in 40 days.
Can I seriously do this alone?
He is so unappreciative of me and we have been struggling for months, this weekend was the last straw and I snapped. I’ve been suffering terribly with morning sickness in third trimester and on Friday night I was exhausted crying on the sofa and he left to go out with friends rather than help me with our also sick 2 year old.
The man who is supposed to love and support me unconditionally and who I have given my life too could barely hold a door open for me.... brutally honest opinions please?!

Honesty doesn't need to be brutal.
That sounds really tough. I'm so sorry you're going through that. Have you got friends and family you could look to for support? For instance helping out with your 2yr old? Of course you can do it without him if you need to, especially if he isn't helping anyway - you are certainly not the first and won't be the last in this situation. You are strong and capable. But the more you can shore up other support networks the better. All the best

Thanks brightbird ... friend and family support is limited unfortunately so things such as childbirth would be a solo adventure. I’m just so worried I’m gonna fall flat on my face with a newborn and fail my two year old.

I wish my stbxh hadn't been there at the birth. Yes. It will be difficult but you will do it more easily than with him beating you down.

Handhold here. Yes, you can do it OP. Family and friends. Single parent support groups like Gingerbread. Good luck 💐💐

You can do it! Better to do it alone than "with" someone who's not even helping. What a prick. You'll look back in few years and be happy you did it!

You can 1000% do it even when you feel you can't seems like you've been doing it alone anyway xx
