Single mom

Hello ladies,

I was wanted to know for the single moms out there how do you all do it?

I was with my ex for 5 years. We have a 2 year old together. And our relationship has always been rocky. It wasn’t until a few days ago when I had enough. I can’t do it anymore. So I decided to separate from him. He’s still at the house we share.

It wasn’t until a few days ago over one of our petty arguments that he said, he wasn’t happy. He hadn’t been happy, I told him I wasn’t happy either. He told me his brother and sister told him to leave me. I don’t think his sister ever really liked me anyways. I think that was it for me after that.

When he told me he’s talked about our relationship to his siblings and them saying to leave was a low blow for me. For the fact that my sister lives with us sees both sides and she has never told me to leave him, always to figure things out.

It hurt, it hurt to hear that. It broke something in me I guess the last hope I had for us. I love him I’ll always love him but we’re definitely toxic for one another.

My question here is, how do I move on. How do I keep some kind of friendship with him for the sake of our daughter? I’m so lost right now, I don’t want to get back together with him. It’s just never going to be okay, not after knowing he’s actually talked about leaving me.

Not to sound dramatic but the things he’s done have been awful he’s put me through a lot. Physically and Mentally.

I need to find my happiness for myself and my daughter. I want her to have a happy mom.

Any suggestions, tips, stories, anything would help.

TYI
