This sounds sad but i need a friend... Im 21, 4 months pregnant with my first baby and i will be a single mother, my ex and i split after he assaulted me whilst drunk but as a result of me calling the police, he wants nothing to do with me or baby..i felt as though i'd be ok because my mum was so supportive, however, she rang me by accident earlier today and i answered just in time to hear her slating me as a person saying she feels sorry for my baby and doesn't know how on earth i will cope when the baby is born. I now feel so small as though ive been stabbed in the back. I confronted my mum and told her i heard everything, she simply laughed and said it was my own fault for listening... I just feel so hurt and i'm now completely doubting how on earth i am going to cope with this baby on my own. Any advice would be fab, sorry for the essay!
I'm sorry to read this hun, you don't deserve either of the treatment your receiving at the moment, sounds like neither of them deserve a part of your or baby's life tbh, here if you need a chat xx
The worst bit is, she genuinely can't see what she has done wrong. In her mind she was having a chat with her friend and i shouldn't have been listening but my defense is, if i accidentally rung her and she picked up hearing me slate her... She wouldn't hang up! Im absolutely fine without my ex, he has a 2 year old with another woman and she has just won full custody of her baby so i know mine doesn't need him, just feel so alone at the fact i can't trust my mum. Xx
@terri995, im same as u ! ive no1 at all and scared to death but i know ill be fine. as will u. honestly u will n ull show ur mum up for saying wat she has which is discusting may i mention. xxx
Oh hun, this is awful. By the sounds of things you will probably be better off without your mum and the babies dad. You'll be fine as a single mum, it will be your mum and your ex that's going to be kicking themselves when baby is here, wishing they had treated you better. xxx
hi @terri995. I hope you are ok? You're going through a tough time at the min but all I can say is it will get better. you can't change people's opinions but you can change how you react to them. now is the time to rise above all of the negativity and become the strong person noone expects you to be. you did right ringing the police. your ex is probably embarrassed by his actions and instead of acknowledging them he's running away by turning his back on you and your child. this is his decision and as hard as it might be do you really need someone like that impacting upon you and your life in such a negative way? as for your mother, that must have been awful to hear especially as your mother is meant to be there for you no matter what. just rise above. you will be a fantastic mother and will always support your child when they need you the most xxx
Thank you! I dont know what made mum act like that, i just wish she would accept she did wrong but she is acting like its my fault for picking up the call... Can't win.
