So I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old boy with a boyfriend who just started saying we were engaged when I was giving birth to our son and never proposed but I did. I have no license, no valid id, no income, I do the laundry, I keep up with a 5 rooms 1 bathroom and a half, I basically never leave the house unless it’s for a doctor appointment or an errand, I have basically no friends because I’ve isolated, no family, no real time for myself unless I’m up at night, I was working and starting cosmetology school when we started our relationship then I quit my job to focus on school then I got pregnant and missed a lot of hours, then me and my boyfriend got kicked out of his moms house because she was toxic we ended up at a one bedroom for a while but went back and to his moms house before the baby needed more space, I was always in our apartment cleaning, doing stuff for us, then my water broke early I was in the hospital for a while then went into labor, and my son had to stay at the hospital for months and I became a stay at home mom, later on went into a psychosis from my postpartum depression and was in and out of the hospital for a month and a half, came back to being a stay at home mom, and I feel like I have no support, no one to talk to, nowhere to go if things get bad, and i have been so nervous about how him and his mom like to argue about the smallest things so I’ve been recording secretly the conversations that scare me just in case. I love my boyfriend he has always been like my bestfriend but he doesn’t understand me and i don’t really think he wants to understand me.

I feel like this is my WHOLE story since I had my daughter except for the toxic in-laws . Even though I try to remain positive by saying to myself that, "if my friends stopped talking to me, then I don't need them after all..." , it hurts! I can't believe that my friends of 15+ years just started avoiding me and my husband, he's a doll but he doesn't get that at times I just feel cooped up.
