Take all the help you can get from anyone willing to offer it. I tried to be this self sufficient, tough and I dont need anyone kind of single mom, I couldnt do it. I went to the GP and told all, they knew anyway really, as he had been to get some help but it was just too late.
Accept for now youre fragile and give yourself a hug or two. It does take time but we are all here for you.
One other thing, I learned much later on, dont only see the bad side of him, accept his good side too. There is nothing wrong with saying to him, look, can I talk about the wee one. He will feel as sad as you do. When my mother died my ex was actually fantastic. My daughter was only a baby, he doesnt really know her little ways but she has positive contact with him, they all do, its good for them, As long as it is positive.
