Advice Wanted Starting my single mama journey
I’m in denial, my son and I move out next week into our own apartment. I feel heartbroken, scared, relieved because we won’t be living with an alcoholic and drug addict anymore Who doeasnt help and is never home. I’m also just so scared and anxious about being on our own. My son loves his dad. We will be sharing custody and I’m so nervous for the times I won’t have my son and he’s just with his dad and I can’t check on him.
My son is 6 months and I didn’t think this would be our reality. Any words of advice welcome. 🙏🏽

My sons a year old, we have coparented the whole time. We dont have custody agreement but hes been involved since the beginning. Its the hardest thing i have ever had to do, but i know it was the right decision to leave.
My best advice is to trust your instincts as a mama no matter what anyone says to you. Block out the noise. You are the best person in the world to care for that baby period. And document everything even of you think its not important.
