Bathsheba & Vicky are right.. I know I haven't posted in this thread before but you need to realise that it wasn't you that was in the wrong it was him. Just cherish this time with your daughter, you may feel alone, but you'll always have her. I know it's hard but you need to try to look at the positive. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, so not nearly the same as yours but I got out when DS was 5months old & his father was fighting with me, I burst in to tears & DS looked at me and started crying too. I realised if I am not happy how am I supposed to help DS be happy too?

Are you going to a counsellor or something, like you said you might? is that helping at all? Maybe you could also try to find a mothers group or something like that nearby that you & your daughter can go to.. or something like a baby swimming class or kindagym if you can afford it. I have taken DS to swimming lessons since he was 6 months, it's a good time for us to get out and do something together and I get to have some adult conversation, even if it is very brief. Plus I feel like I am doing some exercise, which helps when I am feeling low. All the walking around in the water & lifting DS sure does feel like a mini workout some days.

You are so strong for getting out and doing all of what you're doing on your own. I know it is very hard and it can get lonely but you have done the best thing for yourself & your daughter. as Dr Phil says "It is better to be from a broken home than in a broken home." (Yeah kind of lame but that is what I keep telling myself when I doubt my decision or things get too stressful/lonely )
