I’m almost 22 weeks pregnant and just found out my significant other of 5 years has been cheating on me.

He’s been abusive, has a severe alcohol problem, and really doesn’t have his life together in lots of other ways. And still. I loved him and prayed and stood by, hoping he would change. When he’s good he’s great and I’m not happier with anyone else. But now I have no choice.

I know in the long term this will probably be a blessing in disguise, but right now I am heartbroken. The thought of giving birth to my son without his dad being there, growing up without a father (he is in NO place to parent on his own and said tonight that he doesn’t care about me or the baby), and just being alone in general makes me burst into tears.

Please gives me words of assurance, advice, stories of being successful mommas on your own. Tonight was hard 💔
