Just need words of encouragement

I'm 39wks & 4 days pregnant with a little princess ! I already have a 4yr old son who has been my biggest help and support system through my pregnancy! I'm no longer with my children's father, we broke up early on in the first trimester of this pregnancy ! He stopped coming around for our son but lately has returned ! I personally try to limit the interaction he and I have because I find myself resenting him for making me go through this pregnancy alone ! He never ask about our princess and has only been to 3 doctor appointments! He just recently started asking how I'm holding up but it's like come on after all these years and that's it ?? I'm okay with us not being together because right now I feel that's best but I get discouraged and sad at times because I wish I had someone to rub my back while I'm in pain or even drive me to doctor appointments! The other day we argued over my sons haircut, I really don't want it to be like that ! I feel we should be helping each other and not fighting each other ! Part of me think the miscommunication comes from the love that we have for each other but how can you hurt someone so deeply who you love ? So maybe that's not it, I'm not sure I just wish he was more supportive of this pregnancy and had never left those few months without seeing our son !! Sorry I really needed to get that out, I have been bottling that up for way too long now !

I agree with what @Leabellallee said… now im not a single parent but my daughter does come from a different relationship so i have been single at one point of my life with a her and co parenting is hard!  My sister has 3 kids all 1year apart with all having different fathers! The oldest is almost 4 and youngest 8months now… no involvment with any father, she done it all with family supportand other mothers supporting her

I'm sorry about your situation. I've been pregnant & alone since 6 weeks. You should Try to stay objective and leave emotions out of it. My best advice is to pull yourself together. Being a single mom is rough, and it's a one woman show. Acknowledge that and rise to the occasion. Sulking and pouting about not having him there to rub your back or take you to appointments is not productive. It's a pity party. If you need support, which it sounds like you do, join a single moms group/ move closer to family/ find friends that are supportive. Work out a coparenting plan with your ex, take it to court, do what you need to do. But keep your head up and take control. You've got this.
