separated and seeking advice... but not sad.

What do you do when you're 22 weeks pregnant and going through a separation with the father of the child? Keep in mind that the relationship is pretty much over because the father is manipulative and abusive (emotionally).

Im divorced too to my daughters father and on my own in this pregnancy..I think if he is abusive and manipulative, getting away is the best..i have had relationships with very controlling people and its hard to break away so well done :) it isnt easy being on your own through pregnancy and having a young baby as you are emotional and sometimes just seeing a "normal" family doing something mundane hurts...but when your a single parent you do get an extra special relationship with your child as its just you and them and I wouldnt change that for the world..i (and others i know in this position) thrive on being independant..you can do it :)

Good for you mama! Bringing a child into a home where they witness any type of abuse is harmful. You and baby deserve better and a happy life.

Happy you made that choice for yourself and your child. Just let him know he has responsibility to take care of this child. Dont feel like he does not owe you that because he does. Stay strong xxx
