Just need some encouragement

About a month ago, I found out that my partner had been cheating on me. He left the home to give me time to find a place for myself and our daughter to go (the house is in his name). In that month, he has only visited twice and called our daughter (11 months) three times. Ever since we found out I was pregnant, he encouraged me to quit my job. He made plenty to support us, so he said he wanted me to be a stay at home mom. When our daughter was a newborn, my car broke down and he refused to spend the money to fix it. So we shared his.

I’ve spent the past month making arrangements for a place to go with my daughter. I live pretty far from my family, and without a car, it’s been extremely difficult. Luckily, a cousin has offered to let us stay with her. My dad is coming next weekend to help us move, and I’m beyond anxious. The same cousin helped me get a job working the opposite shift as her so that she can watch my daughter, so thankfully I don’t have to worry about childcare.

But I’ve never had to do this on my own. My boyfriend and I were high school sweethearts and we were together almost eight years. I’ve never had to do it by myself before. I feel like I don’t even know where to start. I have to safe up for a car and for a home of our own, all while being a single mom. I’m terrified. Someone tell me this is possible and that everything will work out.
