Breaking up

Hello ladies , me and my partner have decided to co parent our son , he is 1 at the end of this month and unfortunately our relationship didn't last through this first year , having a baby as we all know is hard on a relationship, my partner didn't quite understand postnatal depression or mental health in general and decided to step out of our relationship and reach out to other women. This of course has damaged my trust and made my mental health worse so I made the decision to part and Co parent so I can be the best version of myself for my boy. My question is has anyone else gone through anything similar? How did you cope at 1st ? I'm trying to focus on my son but I'm so heartbroken at the same time its a hard time for me. Just seeing if any of you ladies had any advice for me ? Appreciate it xx erin

Show your support

When I did this, I just focused on work and keeping busy it's so hard but you'll reach a day you'll look back and be like wow I made it im okay 💓

Strong brave mamma 💕

Agree with Charis, I haven’t personally been through this but know people who have. You’re doing the right thing for you and your boy, well done you for being strong enough to do it. People will stay in this situation thinking it’s best for the child when it’s actually the opposite. Look at your boy every day telling yourself you’ve done it for him also, you will look back and realise it was the best decision. Stay strong through the hard days and keep yourself busy with your little bestie and life saver 🥰

You should be so proud of yourself for walking away and prioritising being the best mama for your little one❤️.. my messages are always always open xx

Firstly you want to be proud of yourself for doing what’s right by you and your boy. Second, My partner said he wanted out when my boy was around 6/7 months. Said he didn’t love me any more, there was more to it but I won’t go into it. And he left us. We co parent really well and still get on okay. Please take each day as it comes and focus on the here and now and not too far ahead. I did that to begin with and it made it harder for me. Just focusing on things even a week at a time helped me. I am happy if you want to message for support and advice lovely. Stay strong mama, you’ve got this!!

Me and my ex broke up when my little boy was 10months, the relationship was toxic and I was sick of being treated like **** and its the best thing that I’ve done for myself and my lo. Me and my LO are both much happier and even though I’ve had to move back into my parents (saving for a mortgage) with quite literally just my clothes currently sharing a room with my little boy and literally starting completely again I don’t regret it because it’s the best thing for myself and my son. Co parenting is hard his father sent him back to me with a vest on backwards and nappy not on right but I’m trying to learn to bite my tongue and perceiver. Honestly I keep myself busy with work taking lo on days out to playgroups and parks on walks etc I’m putting all my energy into him and trying to figure out who I am again it’s difficult but it will get easier!
