Split from baby dad

[Lms2025]

I am feeling awful after the split with my 18 months old dad and so lonely with little support from family. We just didn’t end up getting on and the arguments were too much and he put me down regarding the way I parent too often. I don’t know how to deal with all these emotions feeling so upset and finding it so hard to look after my daughter when feeling this way. When does it get easier adjusting to being a single mum and how do I stop feeling so sad?

Your ex was making you unhappy and being derogatory. Now you are rid of him.
I think you focus on having a lovely easy-going time with your dd. Spend as much time as you wish playing with baby DD. Relax.

Plan a weekend in which you cook simple food that you like, play with your DD, take her to the park, feed the ducks, chat to other mums, listen to music, give yourself a manicure and pedicure when your little one naps.. No pressure, no criticism. You can go to bed when you like, enjoy your freedom.

It will take time to get used to being on your own but it will come.

I've been a single mum for 14 years. Take it one day at a time.
