Anyone else doing this alone?

Hi evwryone. I'm 30+2 days and a mother of 5 soon to be 6. My husband and I haven't gotten along for quite some time and unfortunately seperated purse lives from each other yesterday bc he has issues. I'm doing this along lol by myself trying to stay super strong but I can't help but say I'm overwhelmed thinking how to do this all by myself financially. I am a very head strong person but this is getting me down. Dont have any close friends and my mother is the only one that can help if ai need anything from time to time but is a busy person herself. I am happy to be away from him, just wondering if anyone else is going through am similar situation?

Ive been a single mum 7 years now..pregnant and alone again..im happy as I didn't think Id have another..but ladies you can do it..its scary..but I actually thrive on my independence now. Being pregnant and having a newborn are hard alone, but its fantastic when you look back at what you have done all by yourself :)

I'm not technicaly a single mom but feel like it my fiance doesn't even talk to me anymore we used to be so happy but ever since I got pregnant he has distant himself from Me and only talks to me when he wants to have sex... I'm pretty sure hes cheating on me as well. I have absolutely no family and lost all my friends because he doesn't let me talk to anyone. So pretty depressed exspecialy when I look in the mirror I just dont feel pretty anymore..

I am doing this notalone bcuz I have help from GOD. But my husband and I seperated again in August 2nd then I found out I was prego august 20th. I'm unfortunately accustomed to raising our 3 kids by myself with no family where I live. I'm solo n we get by just fine w/o the stressing, fighting, n me slaving day in n day out. Now he stalks the house when he want to c the kids n wakes me up at 11pm, 2am, 3 am when he knows the kids are asleep. And almost ran me off the road while my children was in the car...I finally spoke to him n said leave the kids alone if ur not going to b a full time father (he only wants to c them once a year) smh

I'm doing this alone also this is my second and so far I've been doing this pregnancy all by myself. This is the hardest thing I've done ever but I know things will be better.

I will be having my first soon and have realized I'll be a single mother. Finances is a scary thought doing it by yourself but I truly believe God only gives you what you can handle. Even though it's hard keep positive thoughts and know everything will work out how it's supposed to
