Does your child resent you for leaving their father?
Hi all!
First of all, I would like to apologize for my bad english, it is not my first language..
I guess I am here seeking for advice, maybe your stories, I don't know, I just want to calm my mind..
So, at the end of 2024 I started dating a guy, I have known him for years but never looked at him like that, and when we start spending time together more often, I fell in love really quickly.. i couldn't believe he is such a good person, perfect for me.. After 3 months of dating I've got pregnant, and he changed.. he got quiet, didn't notice me at all, he was always on his phone or watching tv, I was doing all the work, he just existed.. so pregnancy, and later raising a baby, was all on me.. it was really lonely and hard period and I have been trying to be happy for my baby girl, he did some bad things and I ended it, I figured that my baby will be happier just with me then with parents who dont show love or affection one to each other, and also I resent him a lot for things he did when I was most vunerable.. I also resent myself for letting that happened.. dont get me wrong, I would do it all over again just because of my girl, I love her more then anything, but still I resent myself for not noticing things earlier, for not being smarter, and now he is living his life and I am where I am..
And my mind is going crazy.. I ask myself 3828291 questions, will she hate me because of this? I dont want her to know what her father did, I would like for her to see him as a good person, and I am scared she will hate me for leaving him..Also I wonder will I ever meet anyone else in the future, I want my baby to see what true love is..
I guess I wanted to know does your children resent you for raising them alone? I have so many differents toughts and worries I will go crazy..
Thank you all in advance :)
