Don’t know what I’d do without him?

I found out my partner cheated on me and we “broke up” when our child was only a few months old. We’ve since gotten back together and whilst I have so much resentment towards him I just feel so relieved we’re back together as a family. As much as I love being a mother it was probably more overwhelming than I anticipated. Our child is nearly one and has never slept through the night not once. The nights can be terrible , awful sometimes and it’s just exhausting. My partner goes to work and I’m a sahm but he’ll still come home and do the household chores, he’ll still wake with me in the night and help settle our child when I literally just am so exhausted. He covers everything for us financially. And it just left me thinking how do you girlies do it all by yourselves because i found myself even struggling with so much support from my partner.

We just have to get on with it 😕 for me that’s the easiest way to put it. I admit, i feel some level of envy when i see new mums on social media with such supportive partners, but I just tell myself this is the hand I have been dealt with and I need to do what needs to be done for my son to feel loved and wanted.

My husband passed away when my girls were 3.5 and 1.5 years of age. What choice did I have but to pick myself up and take care of these beautiful babies that we brought into this world?? My thoughts, GOD doesn't give you anything you can't handle. I have heard a saying that GOD doesn't give his toughest soldiers the difficult fight. He makes his toughest soldiers through difficult challenges.

@Dez honestly I hear you. mums especially single mums make things look so easy from the outside and that was the biggest shock when I became a mum myself. It’s the hardest job there is and our kids will never know what we’re going through to raise themb

@Trisha I’m so sorry to hear this! You would have had to be really strong to continue going and caring for the kids you’ve just gotta do it for them ❤️❤️
