Pregnant and heart broken

[redlbr]

How do I see the light at the end of the tunnel after my breakup?

7+ years of what I can now see was an extremely abusive relationship, we have a 5 year old and I'm also 32 weeks pregnant

I'm just so sad, I feel empty. Nothing is bringing me joy. I feel lost and abandoned and betrayed

What can I actually, actively do to start to feel better?! :(

I have spoken to midwife and GP and looked into therapy.

Hello! You sound like you're having a horrible time.

I need have any concrete advice for you, but I was looking back over videos of me and my two children today when I was single and can say, even though I know I was struggling and selling precious items to keep us fed and with gas and electricity, we were so happy.

This was a decade ago and we've been through loads since then. But you will be happy again, and strong, and brave.

*don't not need. Damn you autocorrect!

This sounds really hard
Sending hugs to you
Remember - you are worthy of happiness and a great relationship and you will get through this

Keep going mama. Your kids will thank you in the end.

Take things 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day at a time. Try not to think too far ahead right now as it’s likely to feel overwhelming and insurmountable. You can and will get through this.

If you can, try to be thankful you are out of an abusive relationship. It doesn’t seem like it now but this is the start of a new and better future for you and your children.

Don’t expect too much right now and put yourself and your children 1st.

You got this.
