Single Mummy’s

Just wondering is anyone else or has anyone else been in the situation I am in. I am a single mum of a beautiful little boy who will be two next week and am 13 weeks pregnant now with my second. This baby’s dad and I are no longer together and ended really badly. I am according to him, selfish and unable to love the way I should. Having been entirely honest about my behaviour with friends and family, they feel he has been manipulative and controlling. I won’t get into it too much but I find myself now quite scared of him and don’t really know how I will be able to cope when he wants access to my baby.

Although I am over the moon to be a mummy again, to give my son a little brother or sister this was an unplanned pregnancy and I am so unprepared. Although my sons dad was around for the first year of his life, he did very little and he was unsupportive and ‘didn’t care about how I was feeling’ (his words) so I was very much alone throughout this. I have support from my family and although I am extremely grateful for this is hate that I am going to have to rely on them more heavily than I do. I am an independent and proud person and will need help especially financially once I go on maternity leave. They are prepared and willing and want to help me but I am struggling so much with this.

I suppose I’m just hoping that there are a few of you who can give me a little advice or support or something just to help me feel a little less useless and hopeless.

Thanks Mummys!
