    So you didn't know your xp and friend were together until they turned up?? And they expect you to be happy for them?? Doesn't sound like much of a friend to me

    Hun what you're doing is no small thing - you are amazing! I can only imagine how you're feeling, but make sure you tell yourself what an amazing job you're doing, because you truly are! Gosh parenting is hard enough with a partner, so the fact you're doing it on your own and on top of it having to deal with an incompetent ex, deserves a medal! It's ok to have down days, know we're all here for you to vent any time. I can't really give advice on staying positive and calm when you have to deal with XP because you're much more patient than me!

    Hope things improve for you

    Parenting is the hardest job I've ever done in my whole life, and I have a high-powered high-stress job as it is. Parenting, on your own, is definitely harder.

    Although I do find parenting two children is better than parenting three (when XH was around LOL!)

    Be true to yourself. Put yourself first - remember, happy Mummy means happy baby... and always know that you are the best Mum for your baby.

    What your XP does is up to him - you can't make him reasonable, or behave normally. Those choices are up to him. Live your life for you and DD and you will be just fine.

    Regards

    Stay strong.

    When you become a parent, you quickly realise who your real friends are. Im sorry you've had such a crappy day... Tomorrow will be better
