Kate is not a psychologist but she is right. You need professional help. I’ve been in therapy for years and it’s really helped me. I grew up with trauma as well. You can feel better, I promise.

I’m confused about the picture, was it her and a newborn or just a mother and newborn? Sorry.

Even if it is her with a newborn baby, you know she is an addict who wouldn’t quit for your potential baby before. I see nothing attractive about that. Social media feeds you lies. People post their best pictures, the happy moments, not the rest when they’re struggling to pay bills, arguing constantly, addicted to drugs and unable to stop for a baby, or down and out.

Therapy. But block and avoid her completely now. Reach out to old friends. Go out in nature and take care of your body.
