Has anyone separated from baby’s dad?

I want to leave my partner (for many reasons) but I can’t help but feel I’m leaving my baby aswell. I know I shouldn’t stay in a relationship because of our son, but I can’t even imagine going a day without seeing him on a weekly basis. It will kill me. Help?

You can’t possibly post a controversial topic and set “rules” to what comments you want and expect everyone to adhere and not fight

Lonely

Is anyone finding maternity leave lonely? My partner works nights and is doing loads of overtime. We haven’t got much money so can’t afford baby classes etc. and I’m not feeling up to go going out now. I was a few weeks ago. I spend most of my time doing washing/ watching tv: family and friends are too far away.
