Finding it hard to move on

I met my ex 5 years ago and two years we started to date . We had plans to move in together and start a life . Things started to get rocky and we split up . I found out I was pregnant and he didn’t want to get back together . When the baby was born we tried again .
Things were hard and his ex wife contacted him by phone every day , multiple times a day often changing plans / changing things so their kids wouldn’t see the baby . She’s moved on from him so doesn’t want him back . There was no quality time for us at all. She would pop in too with no notice.

This caused friction between us and he said we were over. I’ve been on my own now with the baby and although he pays maintenance we don’t talk.

In reality I had no idea things would turn out how they did . I feel so alone , I was alone in my pregnancy and now feel worthless again . I can’t stop comparing myself to his ex wife who is more successful than me and they get on well / support each other . I know his heart wasn’t really in it with me . But I feel so depressed about this I’m finding it hard to move on . Any tips of advice welcome .

Sending big hugs. You sound like you're in a really tough spot. FlowersFlowersFlowersFlowersFlowers

Could you ask your GP for some talking therapy I wonder?

Having a pregnancy & baby on your own is extremely tough. Have you got family who could help a bit?

Can you get outside with your baby & enjoy some of the summer weather?
