Thanks for joining us on the forum – glad to have you here. You are welcome to post 24/7 but please note that whilst we have forum moderators we will only be moderating the forum during office hours. If though you need urgent crisis help, please contact Samaritans on 116 123.
Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.
Report child abuse or neglect to your local council

Ok 3 weeks ago my fiance and girlfriend of over 10 years broke it off with me saying I couldn't change and she wanted out. I got stuck in a rut and wasn't giving her any affection. We also have a 3 year old daughter together. I don't know if she's with somebody else that's why the sudden change in her. I love her so much and wanted a chance to show her how much I loved her but she says it's too late. I want to get my family back and for my child to not come from a broken family. Any help would be great
Hi there
I’m so sorry to read the title of your thread... breaking up is so devastating, especially for the partner that doesn’t want it to happen.
I hope you’re getting some support from family or friends right now. It’s important that you look after yourself and try and keep your strength up. If you need some help with the way you’re feeling, you can ask your GP for help and if you’re feeling really down and need to speak to someone the Samaritans are really good listeners. Or an organisation called CALM who have a free confidential helpline that’s open between 5 and midnight

I would give your partner some space right now, apart from trying to make arrangements to see your child. It might give her time to think things through properly.
Perhaps you could suggest couples counselling, here’s a link to Relate

All the best and keep talking.
Hi There,
As Mojo has said breaking up is never easy, no matter what the circumstance, but when yo don't want it to happen it's even worse.
I can't add much more than Mojo's advice above, but we are all hear for support and to talk to so keep talking and we will try and support you through this and out the other side.
