I find myself crying at night, not sleeping well and depressed most of the time. I hate the person i am today and miss being with my ex. My daughter is now 1 years old and i wish i can provide her so much more. dont we all? i miss living with my ex(her dad), miss being a family and wish we can get back together. He has obviously moved on and is now expecting another child from his current girlfriend. why is it so hard to get the thought out of my head that we should still be together. do i miss him or do i miss the idea of being a family again. things will not be the same if i were to move on. this new person will not be her father. confused and depressed

Hi rr3765 welcome to psych central. What you mentioned about grieving the family you wanted is most likely a big part of your struggle. However, it’s healthier for the child not to be exposed to parents that don’t get along and struggle. Better if you end up with a person that you can experience a healthier relationship with.
