just wanted to say hi

[Flowerew]

I've recently become single again after thinking I could give my ex another chance. I have 2 little boys aged 2 years and 8 months and currently 22 weeks pregnant. My ex still lives in th same house as me, I spend most of the time at my parents just to get away from him. He's verbally and mentally abused me for a long time and still thinks he can. He's good with my eldest son, but only wants to know the baby when he can be bothered and won't mention the pregnancy at all. Sorry for going on, I feel so low today, I also suffer from depression and being called a bad parent by my stupid brother doesnt help either.

Hiya

I wont be able to offer much advice as this is all new to me, will be a single Mum when baby is born. It will be my first.

Just wanted to say your boys are gorgeous!

How are you feeling today? X

 

[Flowerew]

Hi Roma, thank you, they are my world feeling very stressed more than anything today, my ex normally helps with the eldest in a morning but he had a strop last night, walked out and haven't seen him since. My youngest is suffering really bad with his teething too which isn't fun as he's constantly crying and demanding attention 24/7. How are things with you? When is your baby due? x

You've got your hands full today then it seems, you are coping really well though might I say I think I am destined for a breakdown! You say you suffer from depression? Are you still on meds or did you stop? I am bipolar and stopped all my meds so some days I am ultra fragile. I have a really crap cold at the moment which won't go away and migraines which make me near on blind so I am feeling sorry for myself

My baby is due 22nd of December, so early days still for me. My partner of 3 years left me 2 weeks before I found out and has been vile since i told him. That's another story tho.

Do you know what you're having this time? I wonder if you will get a girl this time? Would you like that?! X

 

[Flowerew]

I feel as though I'm destined for a breakdown most days lol. I stopped taking my meds at the beginning of this pregnancy so I definitely have some really bad days. I hope you feel better soon.
I'm sorry to hear about your ex, must have been awful for you. At least you have one good tying out of the relationship, your little baby
I found out at the 20 week scan that the baby is a girl which I'm over the moon about what would you like? X

 

[Roma3]

Aw wicked congratulations!! Its lovely that she will have 2 big brothers looking out for her when she grows up aww that's lovely.

I am really hoping for a boy, I've always wanted boys but I'm sure if it's a girl I will love that as well just need to change what my mind had planned out. Flippin heck I can assure you that nothing so far has gone to how I had it planned or envisaged in my mind so it probably will be a girl

So what are your plans with your ex? Are you going to have to move out? I live at home still so I don't have all that upheaval I guess.

Xx

Just wanted to say hi
Your little boys so so cute
I recently split with my ex in January we were together 5 years but he had a hard time being faithful so enough was enough. Good luck on the rest of your pregnancy.

 

[Flowerew]

Hiya, and thank you hun your little girls look adorable
5 years is a long time, I was with my ex for 8 years. How are you finding being on your own with your 2 little ones? I'm finding it quite hard atm so I'm scared what it will be like when I have my little girl. X

Hello xx

Bonjour!!!

First off, welcome to the single life!!! Honestly, it may seem rubbish to begin with but it is sooooo much better in the long run. It is so positive that you have seen he mentally and verbally abuses you and have had the strength to walk away, your LO's have such a wonderfully strong mummy.

 

[Flowerew]

Hi and thank you all for your kind words. I'm really hoping it does get easier, especially when I have 3 little ones to look after. X
