Hi guys sorry for rambling just dont really have anyone to talk to, long story short found out my partner cheated a few months back, have tried so hard to keep our relationship together but to no avail, everything I say or do is wrong, am terrifed of the future and how to provide for our little one on my own, anyone got any advice or just a kind word, feel so alone and broken

Try and get some sleep it's late. I don't know why you're terrified of providing for your little one on your own, there are lots of single parents out there doing that as am I and it will be a lot easier on your own than living with someone who cheats on you and doesn't sound like he's interested in loving or respecting you. Try the gingerbread website for single parents to see what benefits you are entitled to and don't let fear stop you from living your best life away from this cheating tosspot. You can do it (after a good sleep) x

It'll be tough at first but you will get over it and you will be an amazing single mum. Have you hot a support network?

Don’t overwhelm yourself or overthink things.
There are so many of us single parents out there and we are all just doing our best! (And you will too!)

A relationship can only be mended if both partners put the work into it.

Start looking up any benefits you will be entitled to if you leave him.
He will have to pay child maintenance via CMS.

It sounds like you have really tried and he hasn’t.

Now it’s time to think of yourself and your little one.

He’s a wanker and you deserve much better.🌻🌼
