I moved here from out of state as well. I started with selling everything I didn’t need and just loading up suitcases. Then starting all over with furniture and everything. Secure a job first, you could come and stay in a hotel or air bnb while you house shop. Or try to get one virtually. But landlords typically like to see you have income so make sure you have an offer letter to showing that your hired, your start date, your pay rate and hours. I’m closer to the Huntersville side of Charlotte. I like this area, not much crime and my son’s school is great. Join children’s activities as much as you can to make new mom friends so you’re not just by yourself all the time like I was the first year being here lol. If you need any help or want a mom friend feel free to reach out! It’s been hard not having my village but when I miss them that’s the beauty of FaceTime! I also keep emergency cash for last minute plane tickets if any of my family or friends need me urgently.

How do I tell him?

Lately I’ve been questioning my relationship with my boyfriend/baby’s father. It hasn’t just been lately, it’s been practically ever since I’ve been pregnant, it’s like a switch in I’m turned and he became so untrusting of me and kind of controlling in a way.
But after I lost/my purse was stolen and he asked me for some money and I told him the last bit of money I had I spent it on getting a new drivers license, he called me a liar, I can’t do it anymore.
I want to tell him how I feel and see how he reacts but in all seriousness I just want to end things and co parent the best way possible.
How do I tell him how I feel because he isn’t the easiest when it comes to me speaking my mind on things he thinks I’m lying about or what I’m saying isn’t true

I wish I could keep a friendship

I am extremely socially awkward & have almost a fear of being the first person to initiate a conversation .

I start overthinking..
Will this person even like me ?
Will they ghost me ?
Am I being too much ?

I feel so vulnerable bc all I want to do is build a village & form solid connections but the thought of losing a friend absolutely terrifies me .

My husband and I are both NC with family and my only 2 friends are on the other side of the world and sometimes it feels like they’re incredibly busy .

I just want someone I can check in on and check in with me too. Someone who can vent but also listen. Someone who will be there . Someone who I can just shoot a text to without judgement. Someone who understands the loneliness that is motherhood & is open to sharing experiences.

Give advice wisely

Why is it that when someone comes to talk about their husband. The very first option or advice people on here give is “Leave him” leave your marriage, ?? You don’t think of couple counselling, trip together to rekindle the relationship , the child/ren involved,or just something else aside leave the marriage! If it’s not domestic violence or cheating, please suggest more good options or advices to people and stop misleading them. It’s easier said than done cause you not in their shoes. Do better .
