Hi Hun , welcome , sorry things didn't work out with your ex, I think the actual thought of being a single mother is more scary than actually being one, I've been a single mom now for about 4 years, and in some ways vie found it better, not having some one there contradicting my parenting skills ect, if anything I became more organized and feel more in control than I did being with my ex, I'm about to become a single mom again, and it is a scary thought but you can do it ! Because you just have to get on with things , and imo it's better being a single mom and happy than being with fob and miserable, keep ur chin up

I was pregnant and had a little one when i became single, was scary at first but was so much easier than bickering with someone

^^ What they say above, better to be on your own and relaxed and happy (especially bringing up children, cant afford to be miserable as it can really affect them) a LOT of relationships break up and its unfortunate sometimes that children are involved but we have to carry on and be strong for our little ones. Try to be positive about the things in life you do have and not dwell on negatives and it can pull you through tough times. In other words, you may feel overwhelmed, miserable , lonely etc but just refuse to feel like that and you will carry on and cope better.

Agree with everyone I was in a similar position I found out I was pregnant with number 2 when he left. I was terrified about how I would cope but its worked out perfectly fine and I just love having them both all to my self lol xx
