Sorry post should read as follows...I can't work out how to edit!

I originally posted this on the MH section but if it's ok I'd like to ask for some advice here too as it's regarding family support/relationships (or lack of)

My ex is having his first child with his new wife and my two children are over the moon, they are constantly going on about it. I'm not angry or jealous of him having another child, I'm glad he's moved on but I have no family of my own like siblings or a mum and have no one to talk to. His family are all close and super excited and it hurts. I have been by myself (except our relationship) since I was a teenager and I have no back up. I feel really isolated and lonely especially at this time of year. My anxiety has gone through the roof and I'm worried my depression is back as well. Does this feeling go with time? It will all kick off again when baby's born, I have to deal with that too. I have tried joining mum/help groups but it didn't work out, mainly because there were no volunteers.

Hi op,it's bound to be raw and make you feel sad that he's moved on and you haven't.
Do you need to make a GP appointment to see about some talking therapy or start on some antidepressants?

You've got to be happy for your dc, they have a new brother/sister on the way.

How long have you and ex been separated? Do you still see his family?

6 years altogether. Yes I still see them when the kids go to sleep over etc and they ask nothing about me but are happy to sings his praises. I avoid them as much as I can.
