Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

Married but alone

My husband has dumped every single thing on me over the last couple of years. Two children, two dogs, the house, groceries, cooking, cleaning... he works from early morning to late night and earns a big fat package while I am a stay at home mama. He stays home only on Sundays and refuses to help with anything saying it's his only day off and he needs rest.
I'm on anxiety and depression medicines for 4 years now and my limits are stretching thin. The mental fatigue is so much I want to run away sometimes. We have zero connection, zero communication, he is not involved even with his own kids. It's just work, watching his sitcoms, partying with his people and sleeping. When I speak up, he says he is already doing enough by earning money and he can't do more. I can leave if that irks me so much.
I don't know what to do!!

I peaked 😔

I got really angry at my 4 year old, threw the tooth brush and stormed out of the room. He went to bed crying and I didn’t go to him.

He came out of his room crying at one point and begged me to come back, but I sat him on my lap, hugged him and explained I’m too angry to go back into the room to put him to sleep. He begged me crying again over and over, and I just kept saying I loved him, we’re still best friends, but I can’t come back in. He then kicked me, so I shut the door and let him cry himself to sleep.

I know this horrible and I feel like the worst person. I know I’m going to wake up tomorrow with the worst feelings and guilt, but right now, I’m so fucking fed up of this life. Everything is a battle, there is never a time we can just do the thing and today it peaked for me.

Just ranting

Fed up with husband

I’m laid here typing this and I’m not sure if I’m more fuming or upset. We have a new baby who is 3 months old and an older child. It’s Easter Sunday and in a few hours the kids will be waking up. My husband thought it would be a great idea to arrange a meal out with his family and get absolutely shit faced. We eventually got home around half past midnight. I then had to put the kids to bed and sort out the egg hunt, all the Easter hunny stuff and blow up the balloons etc, bunny feet trail etc all alone. He went to bed and threw up all over the bathroom. I’ve just spent 20 minutes stripping the bed after he’s thrown up again in bed and then out the pissing window! It all down the side of the house, all over the outdoor window sill and down the kitchen window, window sill and outdoor sofa! I’m literally SEETHING!!!!!!!!! We’ve got people coming round at 10am and a roast dinner to cook.
Not sure why I’m posting. I think I just needed to vent. He’s been so pissing selfish!!!!!!

Leaving son's father

My son is 8 months old and his dad choked me out, then picked me up and dropped me on the ground this morning.. I am so shocked and upset.. it started as an argument and insults.. he pushed me, I hit him he dropped me to the floor and that's when what I stated above happened. All of my family is 22hrs away, I only work once a week, he doesn't give me any money. He is also financially abusive, works literally all the time yet always tells me there is no money.(wouldn't even buy me tampons) I get no help, respect, acknowledgement for all I do in our home and for our son. I was willing to stick with him through everything until this morning. That is my line.. idk what to do. he has always wanted to be a dad and I dont want to take that from him but I just can't do this.. any advice helps a lot.. ty🙃

Homeschooling vs traditional school

Help! I need your thoughts on why you chose what you chose or why you’re against it .

Boyfriend wants to stop my progress?

Doesn't want me traveling at night to go to the gym and even broke up with cause he feel I don't listen to his advice. I said I wanted to cook dinner and he refused saying he's good. Then we talk otp for like 40 mins and he's like if you wanna come then come now. Clearly just for sex and I want it but he only said that after I said I wanted to go gym

Feeling like I have no one

Before I had my son I loved to drink smoke and party I would do the craziest things I would fight people for smallest reasons I was just super immature but I’ve become I completely different person since I don’t do any of the things I used to do and I feel like I have no one anymore and even if I am invited I sit there just not fitting in anymore and everyone just says I’m a goodie two shoes now and I don’t want the life I had before but I miss feeling like I belonged with my family and friends even sometimes I feel like my man thinks I’m boring now too but I work and take care of my son 24/7 so I’m not always in the mood to go do anything I’m a nurse assistant after changing ass and getting yelled at 12 hours a day for 4 days I sometimes just wanna sit at home and watch tv or whatever but no one wants to just sit at home and watch tv but me idk if you’ve read this far thank you i don’t know where I was going with this just ranting about it all
