My soon to be ex husband (going through a divorce) abandoned me and my 11 month old and filed for divorce after getting a Greencard. I’ve had a tough life and thought I could finally settle down and have a softer life. Now im solely responsible for my child in every way and I feel really lonely. I have no one to tal...

4 kids, no money, working full time, still no money, no edges, beautiful body turns into rolls upon rolls, love of my life would rather be glued to his phone on social media than stimulate me with conversation, vanilla sex, lost my friends, is this life?

Sorry to vent and everything… I just feel lost. Lost woman that doesn’t know and never did know I think. I just feel lost and I want to be such a good roll model for my daughter. Flaws and all. …..it’s…..hard

Im a first time mom to a 1 month old and my bf works an hour and a half away from home so hes staying close to work during the week and will be home every second weekend. So my question is how did you survive being alone with a baby any tips and tricks? Also single mom isk how you guys do it yall are super heros❤️

Hey all - slightly baby related, slightly not … I have always had a bit of a fear of being home alone (I know some love it ) but unfortunately I can’t control it, now I have a toddler he’s just 1 and my husband is away for two nights I’m panicking and feeling so lonely and a bit scared of being broken into etc ! Ha...

How can I share how I'm feeling and or what I'm going through. If it just turns into a fight. And it's about now, about when I was a kid, the loss of my mum. Seriously I'm fkin struggling. And I'm always just feeling so alone. :-( I wish I had that one person I could just dump all my shit on. Just so I could have ju...

Did anyone else feel this? I’m terrified to leave the house with them both on my own. My first I was out all the time at baby groups etc my second is 12 weeks today and I get all panicky when I even think about going out let alone do it. I feel like the longer I leave it the worse it will become.

Does anyone ever feel empty or alone no matter how good things are? I am so grateful for everything I do have. I have a supportive partner and beautiful son but sometimes I still feel depressed. I feel I should be over this. I thought it was a postpartum phase but it’s a feeling I can’t get rid of. I don’t really ha...

Just wondering how everyone with no village copes. I’m a first time mum and have no village my family live quite a few hours away but my siblings (all adults)don’t visit. My mum doesn’t work, so she was visiting once a month staying for 2-3 days but has put that on hold for the next 2 months as she wants to support...

does anyone else feel this way? since becoming a wife and a mother i don’t feel like my own person. when i don’t need to be taking care of my baby, and when i’m not spending time with my partner, i realize i don’t have any interests anymore. there’s no songs i like to sing, no shows i like to watch, no hobbies, i do...

Does anyone else experience this? I’ve always been an adventurous person, I LOVED being outdoors, could never stay home, love nature and exercise koring different areas etc. Lately I’ve noticed when I go out (by out I mean just outside, or going into the office for work, not anything major) I feel weird and like ...

I don’t know if it’s just me but the struggle to make mum friends is SO real!!! I just don’t understand where I am going wrong. My daughter loves being around other children so I’ve tried to make friends with other mums. It starts off very well and then just fizzles out?? I don’t know if I am doing something wrong o...

I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant and this might sound strange but I've never felt so lonely, I don't really have many friends and my hormones make me so un tolerant of anyone. As soon as I feel an iffy vibe they are deleted. Now you might say it's you who's removing yourself from people but honestly pregnancy makes you ...

It’s been about 5 months now since me and the kids dad have broken up and I’m starting to feel lonely. I honestly don’t think I’m ready to date anyone and be intimate but I do miss having a partner that I can share things with. Its difficult to break up with someone who you still have to see all the time and share k...

I’m really struggling with ONLY the isolation that comes with motherhood as I’m sure a lot of you can relate… but I’m lowkey so tired of my (distant) support system suggesting I’m dealing with ppd. I really don’t believe that because I’ve actually stayed very much the same since having my son. I have tried to remain...

Looks like I will be delivering my baby alone. Anyone else out there go through this? Would appreciate some tips and encouragement!

I’ve been applying for months now and while I’ve had a few interviews nothing comes through. I’m supposed to hear back about a fellowship in a few weeks and if I don’t get this idk what to do next 😩 My unemployment is done and I’m feeling the pressure and don’t want to run through my savings! Despite the “right”…

Nobody ever told me motherhood would be lonely.im 23 have a 5 month old..he's hitting all his milestones but im introverted. I take him to play group so he can feel what it's like to know others his age..I personally think he is doing so well..yet today I was so nervous..I text all the mom's I have connected so far ...

Anyone else struggle with being a single mum and having no friends? People don’t seem to stick around or they get bored and stop making the effort. I don’t know how to get to know parents from nursery (19 months) so not talking or asking for play dates with friends yet. Everything is rather lonely

Feeling super down and lonely recently and I have NOBODY other than my partner. I could really do with some friends, of course mum friends would be a bonus!
