Single Mom

Hi all! As the title states, I’m newly single. My life is a bit of a mess right now 😅 Me and my child’s dad split but we have to live in the same house until June. We both refuse to break the lease. But he is dating again and it’s so hard for me! Harder than I thought it would be. I’m happy for him but sad for our son. It’s just now dawning on me that he will have a life of split parents. I’m definitely in my feels tonight 🥲

I have been raising my sisters kids since both were born. I am young and this is not how I pictured my life but I wouldn’t trade my babies for the world. My sister has no interest in being a mom except when it makes her look good. She’s still in active addiction shows up maybe once a month for what’s suppose to be a 2 day visit then stays for a week. I fuckin hate it. I have grown a true hatred for her. The damage she is doing to the kids. The anger she fills me with. I know this next sentence makes me a horrible person but I wake up every day hoping she ODed so we can have some normalcy to our lives. I refuse to fight with her whiles she’s her so I let mom supervise visitation and I either stay in my room or stay gone while she’s here which is wrong I know but I don’t want the kids around the fighting and I miss them terribly when she’s here. I can’t say or do anything with out her popping off “this is temporary” well my idea of temporary ain’t 3 damn years. Is anyone else raising kids of a sibling or have experience with addiction ? I am desperately looking for advice

Hey ladies! I am 21 years old and raising my niece and nephew. My niece is 3 and my nephew is 8 months old. They’re my absolute world. But I am struggling with making friends as no one seems to understand the situation. My sister is deep into active addiction. I’ve had my niece since she was 9 months old and got big boy when he was 2 weeks old and they released him from the NICU. She was using during both pregnancies but his was far worse. They’re both happy and healthy children. But it gets lonely and difficult trying to explain to people why I’m taking care of kids I didn’t birth. Ideally I would like for their mother to raise thin because every kid deserves their mom. On the other hand I would love to adopt them. Is there anyone here that can relate? And would be interested in chatting, getting to know one another, and helping each other with tips, tricks, and advise? Or just being an ear to listen when you need to vent?

I now work 12hr shifts an i am having issues with transportation for my 4 year old. I found a childrens transportation service has anyone heard of this?
