Newly single mum

[Attalu]

Hi,
I just thought I'd introduce myself here, since I'm new to this part of the forums.
I'm Eve, I'm 20 and I have a 3 month old little boy called Gabriel.
Gabriel's dad and I split on sunday after months of him being a total lazy deadbeat.
I won't go into details because there's way too much to write here.
I'm so angry about how he has treated both me and his son and completely fed up with him constantly feeding me lies. I guess I just want to meet some other single mums to know that it gets easier. I'm so worried I'd be a single mum forever.
So hi :wave:

Hi Eve,

Welcome. You are not alone, you will find plenty of help and support here whenever you need it.

Take some time out for you and your son, learn that you dont need a man, gain independance and a love for the single life with your precious bundle.

Im sorry things didnt work out with Gabriels dad, but it sounds like he was a waste of space anyway.

As for being alone forever... You certainly wont. You will find someone when the time is right. I thought i would be alone, at least until LO was at school age. But the wonderful ladies here gave me the courage to try internet dating, after being single since my sons conception, i felt ready to mingle, and have met a great fella, but its very early days.

Just try and enjoy your time with your son, these days go by so quick and they grow too fast.

Chin up.

You're not alone, even though it may feel like it some days. I lived in a small town and it seemed like everyone who had babies was married except me. This forum gave me a lot of comfort by connecting me to other single moms all over the world. I've even made a few friends. When the time is right, you will eventually meet someone - but don't worry about that right now. Enjoy these very early days with your little man. Kudos to you for having the courage to leave your ex. It takes a lot of guts to do what you did.

Thank you guys, it's nice to know I'm not alone in this.
I'm feeling so much better already, reconnecting with old friends that I wasn't 'allowed' to see when I was with me ex.

We've been broken up for 3 days now and he's already telling his ex that he made a mistake ever leaving her, he's such a joke.

You're definitely not alone

Hi, I'm a newly single mum too. It's been just over 3 weeks so far for me. My boys r 3 & 1. This is the longest I've been single in about 12 years!! (With ex for 7.5 years) and I'm loving it at the moment. I certainly have no interest in trying to find anyone yet, when the time is right he'll walk into my life but at the moment it's just me & my boys

Lots of love

Jo

Hiya!
I'm Jenna, also 20 and have a 17 month old little boy called Caleb. I've been a single mum since I was 16 weeks pregnant, his dad hasnt been involved since he was 3 months by his own choice. it's been tough at times but an amazing journey so far. Wouldn't change it for the world.
