New Single Mom

So I became a single mom literally today…happy valentines ☺️🤣 but I’m actually really struggling with how the hell I’m supposed to move forward. My little boy is 2 next month and he’s a daddy’s boy through and through. I just know he’s going to be asking for his dad and what do I even say to him? It really feels like my world has just come to an abrupt stop and I don’t know how to move forward. My sons dad won’t speak to me about anything other than our child which is fine but he literally packed his bags and left this morning whilst I was at work and hasn’t spoken to me since…I just feel like I need closure even though it probably it won’t do me any good🤷🏻‍♀️

So sorry this happened to you. It’s really hard for us single moms to deal with our kids asking for their dads and not knowing what to say. Some people might feel differently but I would tell him the truth that his dad moved out of the house but he loves him so much and is going to see him on such and such days. Hopefully, dad is at least a good dad who wants to be there for his son. Sending you hugs 🥰

My now ex husband and I tried the normalcy route. We get along better than ever and communicate and coparent wonderfully. Last August I was very much so in your shoes with a 3.5yr old crying ourselves to sleep cuddling my toddler. I’m happier than ever now. It gets hard but over all it’s been so much easier doing it alone. He has him every weekend and we only communicate in regards to our son. It gets less and less awkward over time. We included our son openly in it all. He went to help daddy move and see his new place and we quickly normalized “daddy house” and “mamas house” when he says he wants to talk to daddy we FaceTime him for a few minutes. No matter how horrible of a husband he was to me my son will never hear about it from me. He only is praised about what an awesome daddy he took you to the park etc. we both made it clear our opinions of each other are ours not his. I think that’s very important
