Hi everyone,
Im here because im 3 months pregnant, and
just become a single mum.
When i first found out i was expecting,
the father told me he wanted the baby, hed
been hopeing it'd happen, and he'd support
us etc, and that we'd be a proper family.
He then changed and became hostile towards
me,started shouting at me over the
smallest thing , squareing up to
me,staying out all night with his phone
off and telling me he could do better then
me,genuinely he began to treat me like i
was nothing.
3 mths down the line, he has decided to
walk away, and i have lost everything.
I am not working now as he told me he
wanted me to be a stay-at-home mum,and i
have been very sick, and he has left me
with a back log of rent to pay on our
flat, which ive only just found out about.
Ive lost all my confidence in myself and i
need to get my act together somehow.
No doubt ive been very silly and nieve,
but i trusted in him and id hoped we'd be
a family and our child would have
stability.
Anyway, im just feeling scared and alone,
and guilty i am responsible for creating
this little life when i dont know what the
future will hold now, or where to turn,
and i guess i feel like ive let the baby
down by getting in this situation.
I was doing a degree, which ive had to
stop to get a refund to get out of the
debt hes left me in, and im now staying
with my mother untill i get myself sorted
out, and im finding it hard.
I dont want to sit around feeling sorry
for myself as its not about me now, but is
it normal to feel like a failure and feel
this guilt?
Any tips on how to stay positive would be
really appreciated, i know i am not the
first or the last to go through this, but
im unsure of the best way to cope, i just
know i have to somehow.
I want to be a great mum and i will do
what ever it takes, but at the same time
im scared
