I fled abusive relationship

Last week me and my 15 month old fled from an emotionally toxic relationship. I left him a letter explaining why I left etc . I moved back home (200 miles away) I asked my baby’s dad to contact through my mum re visits and he’s chose to come tomorrow to see him- it’s only been a week and he’s going to want to talk tomorrow and I’m dreading it- any advice of what and not to say?? TIA

I'd keep the audio record button closeby

I also wanna say you are amazing for changing your life. Keep at it mama. Everything will work out and let yourself soar

Just allow him him to do most of the talking remain calm even if he become upset and have recorder close and someone near just incase become violent or meet in a public location where witnesses can call police if needed

Have your mom or family member be there for the visit. You leave so u are not available for him to speak with. You do not have to have a conversation with him. If he has questions about the child, tell him to email you. That way, all communication is on record for court.

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Help

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
