Hand hold please...newly single with a 4 month old baby

[HereWeGoAgainOnMyOwnnnn]

Hi!

As the title suggests...newly single with a 4 month old baby.
Ex partner and I were together for 5 years with an up and down relationship. Luckily we were living apart and still are/were.
Found out a month before our BFP (unplanned) that he was texting other women although he didn't actually meet up with anyone IRL.
We gave it a go as the thought of having to coparent really didn't sit right with me as I didn't want our child to have a broken family.
It's obviously not worked out and I'm only now realising the effect that this whole situation has had on my self esteem.
Feeling pretty worthless and not good enough. He was the one to end it.
I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. I guess I'm just looking for positive stories of single parents going it alone and actually being happy with their situation as right now I can't help feeling a bit worthless and feel bad for bringing a child into the world.

You've got this!

As a single mum myself to 2 littles under 3, it's alot easier when you don't have stress on your shoulders!

I feel like I need to add to this that my emotions have been all over the place since we had our daughter, I've been quite difficult to deal with I guess and sometimes quite argumentative when I feel like Ex hasn't been putting much effort in with us as we live apart.
I put on a lot of weight during pregnancy which I'm now struggling to lose.
Quite the catch!

You will be just fine. I ended up three under 4 on my own. Much easier to do it on your own terms to be honest.

Do not put yourself down about weight! Baby weight is the hardest weight to loose I swear! Your only 4mpp, your still recovering from growing a baby and giving birth! I'm still a size bigger than what I was pre baby 18 months after giving birth and that's with breastfeeding for a year which supposedly is ment to help with baby weightloss!
