Single mama during holiday season

I just gotta say, my mental health is a tricky thing to navigate during any month of the year..but, being a single mother during the holidays is the hardest. I can't stand scrolling on fb and seeing all of these people with their happy families, knowing that I did everything I could to keep ours together, only for it to just not work out. This is the first holiday season without my father as well. He passed at the end of Feb..so, idk..just been in my feelings way more than I'd like to be..
If anyone else feels this way, my heart truly goes out to you 🫶🏽✨️

I’m so sorry. I grew up w a single mom, just the two of us. Do you have some friends you could mention how you feel to? Or church or any kind of community where you can get out and be among others.

Mum friends - how do people make friends?!

Finding it super difficult to make mum friends at the moment! My little boy is nearly 10 months and I haven’t succeeded in anything more than a few messages or if I talk to people in person at a baby class, it’s just a quick small-talk convo and it never goes anywhere! Feeling a bit deflated because I’d love to have a small group of like minded mums to chat to as none of my friends are in the same stage of life as me ❤️

Sorry to sound mopey, just feeling a bit lonely!

Mom friend

Looking for some genuine mom friends 🩷 I’d love to meet someone I can actually build a real friendship with — texting, FaceTiming, going out, trying new things, having our kids hang out, and just being there for each other. I’m really hoping to find that one bestie where we can be comfortable, laugh about anything, make memories, and have a friendship that feels like family 🥹💕
