This is how I feel.. cheating, pain, birth of our baby

This is how I feel.
I feel desperate, hurt, like this pain I have won't ever go away. It's hard for me to describe exactly my feelings as I try to shut myself away from them. It was almost unbearable so I decided to control every emotion I have. For my sake and children sake. I'm managing it somehow but small things are triggering the memories.
Simple post on Instagram mom giving birth in a pool and the dad & toddler there with her.
Dad kisses the baby and the mom. Simple things and it made me cry so much. I just gave birth, it's gonna be a month soon. I was alone at home with my DS1 who is just 11 months old.
Woken up for pain, contractions. Partner not here obviously. Why would he be here.
I was told he has to work, he had to fix his mistake at work. He went to sleep to his "colleagues" place. Girlfriend.
Anyway, I couldn't reach him for hours.
As soon as I realized I'm in labour I called my DS1 God parents and they been here within 10 minutes. During this time I wash some bottles, prepare clothes and get my stuff sorted, while on the phone with emergency helpline and ambulance on the way. Since the phone call made, ambulance arrived exactly 20 minutes after. They walk in to witness me in massive contraction and water break as they walk through the door. Luckily for parents were with my little one. First question are we going to hospital or we staying? I knew we are staying, I felt the baby pushing so hard and I knew he is on the way. We moved to my bedroom and I didn't even know what position I would be. I simply find the most comfortable one. I was on my 4, holding the end of the bed while waiting for the gas & air.
Still no contain what's so ever from my partner.
Contractions came every minute now.
Suddenly I had a massive urge to push, luckily I had my gas and air and knew exactly how to make a use of it, not like last time.
I felt the baby moving to birth canal. I felt how I tear inside and suddenly another push and the head is out I was so shocked it was so quickly. One more small push and the baby was out! I couldn't believe it! Exactly 45 minutes since I wake up 4 pushes and the baby was here me holding him in my arms 😍 all I cared about that moment if he is ok. My first question was is he breathing? Then I heard a massive loud cry! 😍😍😍 It was one of the best moments of my life. But one of the saddest as well.
All this is did by myself without my partner. I expected him to be with me hold me please me, love me and support me. He was not here.
4 hours after giving birth I had a message: is this a dream? Instead of rushing to us it took him 12 bloody hours to come and see us.
What kind of partner does this?! My partner ☺️👎
Anyway, I had no support. All the happiness I should feel he took it away by his selfishness.
When he had the first message from her he had the choice to refuse her. Simply tell her, I have a partner beautiful children and one more blessing on the way. He didn't, he choose her over me, over us.
There was a massive fight on Christmas Eve as I saw a message from her to him. Calling him baby and she loves him. I was told it's a hoax but it was enough proof for me. On that day I was punched, beaten up and raped and threatened. I won't go more into details it would be to long.
I said hope she was worth it and he laughed at my face. In the end I called the police and he can face up 30 years in jail. My financial situation is fucked at the moment as of his employer is the guarantor of our this property. I have no money of my own but I'm positive today. Here I tell you why, I managed with 1 month old baby and 11 months old by myself for days now, I admit I cry but today was great. I did laundry, house is clean. Bottles clean, children been feed and clean, sleeping now while I'm thinking if I should cook for myself or not. Yesterday I felt the worst pain, I let my emotions slip, I let them out and I could barely take it. That the person I loved the most in my life, who I thought would be here for me love me support me hurt me the worse way ever.infidelit hurt more then my marks on the body for some reason.
He said sex with her was better, she was better than me. Then you can have her, I'm sure he can enjoy her from behind bars.
I'm learning now how to control my emotions, not to let it out again, not to be angry just simply be there for my children, as they need a sane mother.
Im sure there will be time when the emotions will surface again but I'm learning day by day how to put my focus there where is useful and needed. On my children. Tomorrow I'm going to council, to see what help we will get. I will call the local womens aid for guidance and I will let myself to be free again, heal and find myself. Start new chapter in life. No more walking on eggshells, no more chances. New life here I come ☺️

Hi @Brig93,

I have been away but just caught up with how you are doing.

Keep focussed; you are doing well. It is tough, but you are getting there. DO NOT get back with that scumbag! I cannot write on here what I think of him and what he put you and your beautiful children through. I could never trust or forgive him. He is the lowest of scum! He is a narcissist and is trying to reel you back in (control), do not fall for his act.

I am sending you love and light.

Think of the life you want to create for you and your children and keep focussing on that.

We both deserved this problem.... and i know after ive done my suicidal plan. YOU WILL HAVE NEVER ENDING PROBLEM. And my sons will blame you for the rest of your & their lives. They will asked you WHY YOU KILL OUR FATHER?
This is how he bombarded me last night... suicide shit again.. im tired, and the worst thing is i need him not to go to jail because we depend on this bastard financially.. so I cannot even report him..
im not eligible for any benefits.. its like being in the same circle all over again..this is why I didn’t leave since i had my first pregnancy because i was scared I won’t get help financially.. and imy nightmare become true.. I really hope i got some positive answers Tuesday from citizens advice because i don’t know what i will do otherwise with no money and place to live 😔😔 i hate that he can still control me.. he is pulling me back slowly bit by bit and i hate it.. i feel like my strength is gone now.. i feel the pain is to much and im giving up fighting 😢😢😢 it’s bloody hard being single mom I cannot wait for my mom and grandma to be here next week.. the problem is they will judge me 😔 even tho i will explain how i feel i will be judged i know 😔😔😔
He offered to take them back to the airport as i have no one to do it.. i said yes and now im regreting it. I regret to talking to him after the incident.. if i keep strong that time and cut him off completely I would feel better by now.. i think i will need to talk to my sanctuary and ask for help because i think im having depression now.. i have high moments of happiness then low moments of pain and misery... how can i just be free from him but he would still pay tge rent and bills? The answer is I can’t.. he won’t let me..

So sorry to hear you are struggling so badly. There are bound to be good days and bad days. Try to hang in there for citizens advice onTuesday.

I hope you can manage not to take him back. Could you see your GP about depression? Or discuss it with your health visitor? She sounded like a really supportive person.

Sending you hugs and a hand hold. Really hope you get good news about the financial situation and get help with depression.

It could also be a good idea to ask your GP for a referral for counselling. I think someone to talk to could be really helpful.

Hi everyone, can you believe I found evidence him flirting with the godmother of my DS1? 😂😂 i send her the pictures and ask to explain all she said, it’s nothing it’s nothing.. well i said its not nothing if you didn’t have enough respect for me to tell me and you flirt back mate.. anyway i said to her I consider her a friend and people underestimate me way to much.. she did and my ex too..so i said to her its sad I trusted you and I tought of you as my friend, i said I don’t need friends like you who don’t think I deserve respect.
I hang up and now she messaged me she has a boyfriend and she didn’t flirt with my ex and if I don’t believe her there is nothing she can do 😂😂😂 she doesn’t get im more angry for lack of respect from her... anyway I feel like i did something right this time for myself which is standing for myself and confront her. I always think about what would other people think of me. I don’t care. Im so angry and its time i make my own decisions and my own path alone. Without any interference from anyone. I want everyone see who fucked with me that im strong enough to do everything myself and everyone who fucked me up will get what they deserve eventually. And i will feel confident enough again, I won’t let anyone ever threat me like piece of garbage.

You could possibly be mistaken about not being able to claim benefits as EU national, who advised you that this is the case? If you have a look here for instance commonslibrary.parliament.uk/brexit/policy/how-can-eu-nationals-access-uk-benefits/ or even better, contact a specialist charity like www.barkauk.org/ or www.eeac.org.uk pre-settled status, whilst UK is still in the EU is not relevant. It will becomes relevant afterwards. Please seek advice on this, you may be pleasantly surprised about what your rights are.

In the home office letter regarding of my residency test I didn’t pass thats one of the reasons why im not eligible.. because there are like different columns they can choose from like example eu national working, or eu national looki after family member, basically I wasn’t either of those..

OP posts:
Brig93 · 12/01/2020 15:12

So basically I failed the habitual residency test.
I have to work or be a job seeker or look after a child in education which im not doing currently, because i have babies under age 1. I will have to work im sure of it.. which is why my sister resigned and in 2 months time she will come to help me with childcare so i can have at least part time job.. ex has to pay the property still as he is in tenancy agreement.. even tho he doesn’t live here.. luckily for me.. but i have bills to pay etc.. food.. so many things but Tuesday i will know more after meeting with citizens advice...

Hi OP you sound like an amazingly strong woman and a fantastic mother. What you have been through is so sad to read but, you have proven to yourself and your little DC that you can do this. You are strong and you will have bad days but look at what you have achieved on your own the birth of your baby and standing up to your vile partner and calling the police. I admire your strength. I hope the financial/ housing side is not too difficult to sort out.

Try to look after yourself when you can rest when your babies are sleeping and when you feel bad remember how far you have come.

Brig93 · 12/01/2020 15:14

Im a bit more calm as I tought i have to get out of this property end of this month but no need as ex will be paying the rent until he works and hopefully by the time there is decision made about him going to court or not i will be having a job and some help with benefits.. and then one more year and I should get help with childcare.. so it will get easier slowly..

Brig93 · 12/01/2020 15:25

Thank you so much for your kind words.. indeed i have weak moments but im holding myself up most of the time and i feel proud i can look after two babies by myself.. even tho sometimes im loosing my mind but its comes with it if both of them screaming at the same time 😂😂😂
Best is when both hungry at the same time 😂
I know i can do this, all of this, what’s happening to me now i feel its like a test for my integrity, strength and somehow to find the right way for myself in this life if thats make sense.
Im still extremely angry at my ex for all the lies and infidelity, but i know its not about me.. its not my fault he did it not me he choose her instead of us. He made the decision to go and fuck around not me. I did everything I could to fix our relationship but if he simply didn’t give effort and didn’t care about us I could do my 200% it would still not work. I feel i just wanna be single and find myself again. To look after myself again gain back my confidence and make sure my children are happy and well look after.
I can see that some people won’t change and my ex is the best example. This is how selfish people ruin families because they care for themselves more then for their loved ones. He destroyed me completely but I bounced back because its not about me only i have responsibilities to my children and they need me. I don’t have time to be weak and cry baby, i do have moments of course bit most of the time im ok. I don’t sleep enough thats true i was cooking 3 am the other day and doing laundry washing up etc.. because i feel I cannot have a mess I want things to have under control completely now as before I didn’t and I couldn’t control anything in my life due to being controlled by him. Soon my mom and grandma will be staying with me for a week so i will relax that time and most probably have a night out with my cousins 😍 I cannot wait to have a glass if wine and relax a bit away from everything.. i need that. But at the same time im already feeling guilty that i will leave my babies at home. Its weird i know I deserve a break but guilty at the same time for not being with them..

No need to feel guilty you have family caring for your babies. Enjoy the wine and rest. You deserve it.
