I messed up

I'm feeling at an all time low right now. I am a single mom, no friends, no family (close anyways), pretty much no support. I have been trying to reach out to others on sites likes these, trying to date but it's just making me feel worse. I have struggled to connect with people my entire life. I feel so alone. Today I took it out on my kids, asking them if they would be happier living with someone else. I made them cry for no reason, knowing I wasn't going to give them up but I just felt they deserved better than me. Someone who's happier around them. Now I just feel like a trash mom. I'm even trying to push my kids away. Idk how to make it up to them and I don't want them holding on to that memory forever. They are 9 and 13 😢 💔

Show your support

Being a mom is hard. Especially if you don’t have a strong support system. Your kids need YOU. Not somebody else. Just keep loving them and doing your best. They will see it someday if they don’t already. ❤️

Sending you hugs. Maybe you can sit down with them and share this with them.. Moms are human and they mame mistakes. I think the kids will appreciate the vulnerability. You are doing your best. Ask them how they think you can make it up to them and do something as a family. You got this!

Well I'm here if u want to talk

Message me girl sending hugs ❤️

Sadly relatable, let’s chat some time

Where do you live?

Sending you hugs!

Same here in Im almost 5 months pregnant

Your babies love you! You obviously love them too! Mine are 13 and 10 and have seen me cry, I've made them cry, too. We talked it out, and I told them how sorry I am, how I can make it up to them, and what I can work on. Family is a team, even if it is just 1 parent and the kids. We are all human, not perfect one bit. They'll forgive you and eventually maybe even forget about it. You're a good mom
