Single Mom Support Group
Hey BPN,
I recently became a single parent when my son turned 8 weeks. My husband decided he didn’t want to be with me. I’ve been struggling with not only being heart broken, but single parenting and working full time. I am also looking for help navigating setting a visitation schedule for an infant. If anyone has any recommendations for single mom’s support group, please let me know.

Wow. There is so much upheaval in becoming a new parent, and losing your partner during that time is unimaginably difficult. My heart goes out to you. I don't have any leads on single mom's groups, but I wanted to offer my moral support. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can be a shoulder to cry on or someone who can take your baby for a few hours so you can take a shower or get some rest. I have a 10-month-old and vividly remember how hard things are in the first three months even under the best circumstances.
Hi there, I came across your post and just wanted to send you a note of encouragement. I'm terribly sorry you're going through this -- it must be so very difficult. I hope you find the support you need, especially given the difficulty of being a mother of an infant.
Hi,
I’m in a very similar situation and hoping you could share the responses with me.
Thanks very much.
I didn’t have a recommendation, but just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through such a challenging time. Wishing you strength as you navigate your new reality and hope it gets easier for you day by day ❤️
Hello EastBayMom85, I had the same experience after several years of marriage, with older kids, and it was very hard. I can only imagine what you are going through. Back then there were divorce groups support at churches, but not sure if that is what you want. Please trust you will be fine. With older kids, I find myself with free time now, if you ever want to meet, need help, or want to chat, please reach out.
Hi- I just came across your post and am in a similar situation. Our baby is 8 months, and I'm still holding irrational hope but it's not looking good. Let's get in touch. I haven't found a good support group, but I'm also looking. Hang in there, hope to hear from you.
