Hi there, my second child is due in just over 5 weeks and I have a 2 year old son and suffer from chronic insomnia ( tried everything to deal with this believe me). My partner cannot cope with the effects of this plus huge stress we have been under the last couple of years and our relationship has pretty much disintegrated. I am scared to be on my own, unwell with two young kids but the constant conflict with him is killing me and I don't want my kids growing up with it.
Just wondered if anyone else became a single parent in similar circumstances and how you managed to cope. I have very little support, ie no parents and friends all work full time, have own lives etc.
Thanks.

Has anyone else split with their partner just weeks from giving birth with a 2 year old and/or a sleeping disorder/ no other support? Please tell me how you managed.
