Regretting having kids

So I've been feeling like this for a long time and there is some context behind it,I've felt since I had my first baby that I have been doing everything on my own absolutely no support ny partner doesn't really help aNd his family hates me I'm all the way in oxford and my family is in Essex so I'm miles and miles away from my support system and I'm constantly alone and I'm just regretting ever moving in with my partner and having kids ..I wasn't mean to do this I used to be such a happy person and I'm all alone and I'm 5 months pregnant with my second and I'm absolutely terrified...I don't know what to do,am I wrong if I just want to leave and let him take care of the kids,I love both of my babies but I just can't do it

Pack up and go home!! You need support and when you have that, it’ll hopefully make you feel so much better.. your partner should understand that, especially if they’re lacking in that area 😒 It’s harsh and not ideal, but I would 100% go back home or certainly within a reasonable travel distance from my family, We’re doing this tbh.. my partner’s mum is our closest person and she’s USELESS, I’ve expressed my frustration and we’re moving closer to mine. Hope it works out x

Would it be an option for you to move closer to your family/ friends? It might give you a complete different perspective on it all when you have people that help and love you around x

Move back in with family if you can and they are willing to help you till you get back on your feet. Your kids deserve a happy mum and you deserve support. Your bf/ husband isn’t being a partner if he’s not helping. Hopefully he will realise what he’s lost and step up otherwise walking away is the right choice. you can claim universal credit, child benefit and csa. There is help available. You can also get help from the perinatal mental health team, don’t be afraid to ask your maternity team for help, your body will be going through loads of hormonal changes and it’s ok to be nervous/ not excited.

I'm based in Oxfordshire so give me a message if you are able to (not sure how this app works lol) and we could meet for a cuppa and I'll be a friendly ear for you to vent 😊
