Broken đź’”

How do you get over the pain of knowing you chose the wrong father to your children? It eats away at me every single day and I’m laying here in floods of tears as I write this. I just wish I was wiser but I was being controlled by and manipulating narcissistic man who I thought I loved and now my kids have the worst father ever. I never saw my life being like this…

First of all, I want to say sorry that you are feeling this way hun! But I believe, the at you and all had the best intentions when having a baby with this person. We trusted them but perhaps we were blinded by love and fake potential and it is okay. Be strong and just be the best mom you can for your children. They will see the truth when they grow 🤍🤍

Following because I'm also wanting to know.

Children need love and support, not necessarily “mother” and “father” If your husband can’t be the father they deserve, you become the mother they need

Following because I blame myself daily and can’t forgive myself

Start by loving yourself first because that’s the most powerful thing when you love yourself you won’t tolerate whatever he puts you through cause you know you deserve better

So many of us in the same position. Just know that you're not alone If I had a time machine there's so much I would do / undo. Here if you want to private message me as going through it too. Same goes for anyone else on here. It's not easy and it's so isolating. I've got 2 narcissistic fathers. One is father to 5 of my children youngest being 7 and we are going through court. I've got some respite until Jan.. the other is father to my 20month old who's had no involvement now he wants it and he's being nasty and controlling. Also going to court (tomorrow!) And they're both in contact making my life difficult. I feel you...

Girl I have been doing the single mom thing on and off for 12 years I have 3 different baby daddies and the third one just filed papers and didn’t even put my child’s name right on then but wants 50/50 and still pay no child support.. I know a little how it feels but I told my boys that I can be their dad too

If you have a village use them because there a so many reasons a child wouldn’t have their dad around so don’t see it as you did this. Just know who he is don’t make the mistake of letting him have a negative impact if you can involve your family more and make sure your kids feel loved xx

First of all - sending many tight hugs your way. Secondly, please know that you are not alone in this, even if at times you may feel as you are. That pain is real and you have to allow yourself to feel it, though please don’t forget that you are loved and many people care about you 💖 It took me few years and some days I continuously had tears running down my face uncontrollably, I didn’t want to cry, but tears just kept coming. I tried my best to hide it from my little one. Eventually, it does get easier and you learn to either co-parent or parallel parent with the father of the child - that is if he wants to be a part of the child’s life. You have the love your child needs, and your child has so much love for you, and that’s all that matters 💖 feel free to send a message if you want to talk more about it 💖

I have this same nagging thought every day, but do you know how great of a mother you are for even having these kinds of thoughts and feelings? It’s really really hard and I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place personally. But you’re not alone. I just need you to see the beauty in yourself for caring about the issue so much, because you want the best for your little one. And you are the best.

You can't turn back the hands of time, don't be hard on yourself for loving someone. You can be the change you want to see. Give yourself the time you need to heal, to get stronger and envision the future you want for yourself. You are not stuck.
