Feeling lonely at Christmas

I'm looking to hear other people's experiences if they have been through the same or going through the same. I am feeling very lost right now and very vulnerable. My partner left me when he found out I was pregnant and he doesn't want anything to do with me or baby. So not only am I having the deal with the break up which is hard enough but also having to deal with the sadness of going through all this alone. I've got no support from family and I'm pretty much spending the whole christmas on my own because my family haven't even invited me over. I've got a scan next week which I will be going to alone which doesn't bother me to much at this stage. But to literally have no partner and no family especially at this time of year its just so hard. I keep telling myself next christmas will be completely different but the only difference is its going to be me and baby.

Show your support

Im so sorry you are going through that. That sounds incredibly lonely. My husband left us about two months ago so this is my first time alone after 8 years of marriage. I’m grateful to have the kids with me, but I definitely still feel lonely and sad. 🥺 It’s a hard time of year when going through stuff like this.

Hey.. I feel you .. you in UK? . X

I'm so sorry 😔 do you have friends you can see? I recommend doing an NCT class or something similar just to meet other mums or try to meet some women from here before you give birth. And definitely afterwards you'll meet a lot of mums at different baby groups so hopefully you won't feel quite so alone. Look up gingerbread charity for single parents as well. They sometimes have meet ups/groups depending whereabouts you live. Good luck x

Where are you at girl if it’s Newcastle message me, more than welcome to come to my dads we have whole family here so won’t be alone xxx

Are you in the UK? If so where r u based? If you’re close we can meet up, don’t feel alone! Me and my babies dad split when he was 6 weeks old and throughout the pregnancy it wasn’t a nice experience with him so I understand to a degree! Trust me when your baby is here you’ll never feel alone again and they will make all this pain and heartache worth it xxx

@Sara hey I am in the UK x
