Single/Divorced Moms

I’m scared but I want to find out the truth

I am considering separating from my husband. We have a 15 month old child. I have had urges to leave the marriage for a very long time now. The only reason I am still in it is for my child.

We start therapy on Friday.

I need advice on how you KNEW it was over, especially if children are in the picture. What is the first step?

Thank you 🙏

What is the ultimate plan

I don’t know where to post but I really want to leave my husband: he’s emotionally abusive and doesn’t think he is. Yes I’m not perfect and have my faults as well. But this weekend I feel like was the tipping point of my wanting to leave. My mom told me the other night she would help me but is now telling me I really need to think this through and how my kids will be.

Hey mamas 🤍 I’m reaching out because I could really use some advice or just encouragement from anyone who’s been through a tough season like this.

I honestly feel like I’m trying so hard but still never getting ahead. I’m going through a divorce, and my ex keeps making the process stressful and emotionally exhausting. All I want is to get home, focus on my baby, and be the best mom I can be—but some days feel so overwhelming.

I’m living with my parents right now, and I’m truly grateful for them, but the space is very tight. My son and I basically have a bed and a small corner for our things. I feel awful even saying that because I know they’d help more if they could, but being so cramped really affects my mental health and makes me feel like I can’t fully show up as the mom I want to be.

I work full-time and make $20.65 an hour. A huge chunk of my money goes to gas because I still drive an hour and a half to work and an hour and a half back every day—that’s where I used to live with my ex. The rest goes to paying off credit cards, so saving just isn’t an option right now.

I’ve tried applying for government and housing assistance, but I’m told I “make too much,” which is frustrating because I’m still struggling. If I make too much, why does it feel like I’m barely surviving?

I’ve been having a hard time mentally, and I guess I’m just looking for advice. If you’ve been in a similar place, what helped you get through it? What did you do when it felt like everything was stacked against you?

Thank you so much for reading 🤍
