Problem/Goal: For moms who decided to end their relationships with their partners, how did you come to terms with the mom guilt of not being able to give your child a complete family setup?
Context: I’m a first-time mom with a baby, currently in a long-term relationship with my partner.
There have been issues with cheating,and emotional invalidation in the relationship that have deeply affected me emotionally.
A big part of why I’ve stayed and struggled to make decisions is because I wanted my child to grow up with both parents together and have the family setup I didn’t want them to lose.
I also feel paralyzed thinking about the logistics if I ever decide to leave - where would I live, who would help take care of my baby, would my salary be enough, and how would I handle everything on my own while working and parenting.
