First Time Mom Transitioning to being a Single Mom

My husband and I are at a bit of an impasse and are currently thinking about separating. We have an 18mo. I think he’s a great person but I can’t stand to be around him anymore. I feel so done. But the idea of my daughter growing up with divorced parents and also having to share custody of her absolutely kills me. Please someone tell me it’s ok if that’s the decision we make. I just don’t think I can be this unhappy until she’s 18 and it’s not the path I ever wanted

Does anyone know about getting a loan so I can purchase a home for my kids?

Hi mommas , I am a ftm to my sweet boy who is now 15 months old. The relationship with his dad has always been a bit rocky. I myself am a neurodivergent mom so I have been trying to work it all out from mental health to living with someone for the first time to also being a bonus mom to his other 2 sons. I think in the beginning of everything we both had high hopes, however for a while now I have been thinking maybe this isnt the healthiest relationship for me and even my son. His dad is not a good or bad dad he has a lot of responsibilities and tbh is very messy so a lot of times im the one trying to organize any kinda family bonding or even ask him to spend time with our son. When do you know maybe its time to separate? How do I deal with the thoughts of feeling like im breaking my son's family? I feel so afraid my son will grow up to resent me if I do leave his dad but I am falling into deeper and deeper depression and anxiety around his dad.

Just wanted to share a special message to all the single mamas smiling through the tears this holiday.

So it’s your first Christmas as a single mom and you can’t help but grieve the person who is supposed to be here with you. You wish you could have done more or gotten your baby more and the weight of the holiday makes you feel like you’re not enough. Try to remember, your baby feels no absence… Not in the gifts, not in the person who can’t or won’t be there, not in your presence. No matter how little it may seem, your baby is in awe of the magic you created all by yourself.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Hi, I am a ftm with a precious baby girl. My ex fiancé left us a couple of months ago. I feel like I’ve been barely keeping my head above water. I’m filled with rage and sadness. I have my mom to help us but her cup is truly running empty. I don’t know what else to do, I don’t know how to heal, I don’t know how to ask for help. I would appreciate some much needed advice on how to build a village of people who can actually help me through this.
