Tips on how to be a great single mother...

I finally left an abusive relationship with their father. When we don’t talk, he does nothing for my kid (have a 8 month old and one on the way) so it’s basically me doing everything... some days are worse than others but I’m being strong for my little ones! Can any of you ladies offer tips on what I can do to better myself as a mom & what I can do to recover from an abusive relationship and be a strong woman?
