Hi, I am just curious as to if there are any single mums out there taking care of a baby or a few kids on a daily basis. My partner left us around 6 weeks ago and my question is if anyone else has gone thru this and how they have come to get thru it basically. Coping with dad visiting his daughter and to some degree looking at him thinking how can u have done this, getting past all that kinda stuff. Trying to enjoy the best time of my babies life when inside its very hard. My baby is 6 months old and i dont want to spend that time sad if that makes sense. I feel i am coping well considering and want to know what i can do to cope even better, it is so full on doing it all by yourself and i just want to know if there are many others in my situation and how they cope.

My DH and I separated when my son was 6 months old, but it was by MY choice. I kept busy. REALLY BUSY!!! I worked, went out with friends and even went on dates. (when it was hubbies turn to see my boy) We eventually reconciled, but it wasn't until my boy was 1 1/2 years old. It was the c___ppiest time of all of our lives. It's amazing, though... you can keep going long after you thought you couldn't. Find things to do, groups to join. Accept EVERY invitation you get, even if you don't think you'll want to go. Invite people over yourself! Keep busy, and it will be WAY easier!!! Good luck!

Ps... I HATED my husband during this time, and still, to this day, we don't really bring it up... it's too raw, even 5 years later! Being a single mom is tough. Being an angry mom is even worse!

Hey Ladies!!! I am a single mom, kind off, seperated from my husband but he does come around once in a while.... when he feels like it, never changed a diaper though ;-) I have a one year old and 6 months preg.... Lovely, how in the world did you find the time to date, I can't seem to even pick up my phone... Ally, the way I " cope" is that i just think of it as ... I am better off without him... that makes me feel a lot stronger..

Thanks liana and lovely, he's left you liana and u r 6 months pregnant. Doesn't want to try then? I have been keeping busy lovely but yea you get invites and go, it helps a little but most of my time is spent caring for my baby. To some degree i am slowly adapting to the situation, getting used to living with just my baby etc but one thing i do have to learn is to lose the anger and bitterness i have regarding him abandoning us, how i will do this is beyond me. I do wonder how she got time to date when also i struggle to chat on the phone haha,
