How do you deal with heartbreak?

Just that really. I think it's finally over with me and DP. We have a 6 week old and 3 other children between us. I feel like I can't breathe. I don't know how to carry on without him.

So sorry for you in this situation, is possible that you can get some help with the children so that you can have a proper conversation together about things? Even just to assess whether its worth trying to resolve issues, or work out a way to parent apart.

Oh love. One day at a time. Do you have other support around you? x

He's just cut me out. Within an hour my life fell apart. He won't talk to me, he's just expecting me to hand over the baby for as much time as he wants with no regard for me. It's awful. This is how he deals with stuff. I honestly blame his mum. She's been determined to get rid of me for a long time and I think she's finally done it. I'm in so much pain. The thought of not seeing him with our son. All the things I'll miss out on. All the time away from him and then I have to deal with the loss of the man I love as well, seeing him with someone else. I've done all of this before and I'm not strong enough to do it again.

You are strong enough and you will do it for your children. Its not gonna be easy and you are gonna hurt for quite some time but you will get through it. One day at a time and take whatever help you can get Flowers

You poor lass 💕 and with a new baby to manage x
I’m useless for advices in crisis like this, but just wanted to offer support.
Have you any fam that would come to stay for a bit to help you x
So sorry this has happened

Poor you, don't blame his mum, this is all on him, what an absolute shit man to do that with a 6 week old baby; yeah his mum maybe didn't like you but this is all him, you need to lean on your family and friends as much as possible, they will help you through this.

So what now?
What is the housing situation?
Do you rent or is the house mortgaged?
Who's name is it in?
This is awful so you need to keep your mind busy and think practically.
Are you breastfeeding?
If so, then he doesn't get to demand when he sees the baby.
Do you have anywhere you could go to for a short while?
Do you have anyone you can call on to come and offer you some support?
His mum is a red herring.
He's a grown up and in charge of himself.
He's a twat.

Of course you can carry on without him.
You managed before him and you will manage again after him.
It will take a while to get there but you will do it.

How many of the other 3 DC are yours?
