Hi ladies,

I'm 13weeks pregnant with my first, recently single and must say I am struggling. Just when I feel like I am going to be okay, I see all the other Mothers with their partners or at least wedding rings. It makes me feel like I am the only one in the whole world going through this alone. I know y'all are out there but I never seem to see it. I have a great family who are supportive, but not a lot of money and I am afraid that I am not going to be strong enough for this baby. I feel like I am the perfect candidate to get post-natal depression because of the stress I am under and I am so scared of that happening. I want this baby to have a beautiful life with a happy mother but I don't know how to heal myself from the hurt and get through this. I'm not sure if there is really any advice you can give me, but it helps even just to vent. I have a whole new respect for single parents.
