Do you ever wonder what it’s like to be so loved and cared for by lots of people?
I have 0 support in my life, I have 3 kids, 1 being tested for autism, I’m going through a rough breakup which will ultimately end up being a divorce and not 1 person has asked how I am. My mum, my brothers they know what I’m going through but no one offers any support emotionally or even asks if I’m doing ok.
I see people doing pregnancy announcements and it makes me emotional to see how happy people are for women and how supportive and loving they are.
I just really wish I had that some days. The few friends I have leave me on read for days and don’t seem to be bothered to make an effort. Just makes me so down

I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this! It’s so hard when there’s little support in any challenging period but pregnancy is a crucial stage where support is absolutely necessary.
Have you made any friends in this app?
Sometimes dynamics of family and friendships show in these moments.
But to offer a different perspective they may also be going through something that they’re not sharing atm, social media always shows the picture perfect.
However doesn’t take away from the loneliness you feel, just try and remain positive during this time, dote on your children and vent on here if you want.

Honestly, I know exactly how you feel. I haven’t had a village either.
I went through my entire first marriage alone which was very unhealthy/toxic and abusive. I also, went through my divorce alone, being a single mother alone (aside from support from the man who became my now husband) and even went through a new marriage alone. Like no happiness from friends and family, no support. No nothing. And I have two kiddos that are Autistic. It’s rough and it sucks and long for it that’s part of why I’m trying to build my own village.

I often wonder what it’s like to be loved by many. My parents are deceased, have basically no family either. I doubt I cross many peoples minds in a day. Im on this app hoping to find connection, even if it’s from afar since I know how crucial is it for a mother. Sending hugs. Message me if you would like anytime!

I’m audhd and so are my kids and I’m a single parent with no family besides my kids… and I have always wondered what i would be capable of if i actually had at least one person in my life who loved me or supported me (emotionally)… but hey at least I got hyper independence lol 🤷🏻

This is the one aspect of motherhood Peanut has actually helped me with because I felt so alone after having my baby. I was pretty alone prior to her, but having a her really exacerbated it. But seeing that it’s actually quite normal and common on here helped me feel less alone if that makes sense.
