I know how this may look but I am so jealous when I see family's together and the mother has a supportive spouse to help them through the pregnancy. Even gives the mom breaks when the baby comes and actually helps out. I always wonder what am I doing wrong? How did I end up a single mother for the second time? Why am I alone with no support? What do they do that I don't? Don't get me wrong I'm super happy they have someone so they never experienced what I have but I just want some support.

I think a lot of moms feel this way. It still hits some feelings in me when I see cute little families together. I had to mourn the dream I had in my head of how I thought this pregnancy was going to go.
Just because they have that, doesn’t mean you can’t find a happy ending too. It doesn’t make you less of a mother or person. It shows how strong you are! Being a single parent is not easy so I’m proud of you for pushing forward even when you feel this way 🩷
Yes especially when I'm out doing stuff with my daughter and we see a whole family and she ask why isn't daddy here? Why is it just the two of us? Like she had a daddy daughter dance at her school he said he would take her so she got dress n was ready to go but he never showed n when all the kids was talking about it the next day she came home sad. Like I feel like a failure. Seeing happy families make me feel worse
I don't want to be jealous and I try so hard not to be but I am it makes me upset that I'm doing this alone

You are doing the best you can 🩷 stay strong, I know it’s hard.
