I have no idea what to do

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.

Wrong or no?

We are first time parents, living in a two bedroom with another couple so our privacy is VERY limited. Is it wrong to be intimate in the bedroom while the 10 month old sleeps? Or is it horrendously disturbing?

i didn’t realize how much this part of her hair would need attention

has anyone else noticed dryness in the back of their baby’s hair?

this used to be the hardest area for me to manage, and i honestly didn’t think much of it at first

i started focusing more on moisture and consistency and i’m finally seeing a difference

now it’s softer, shinier, and holding moisture so much better

i’ve been documenting her progress and sharing more on instagram as i figure things out 🤍

Hitting himself

My 21months son started to hit himself when he got frustrated. Like when i say no to him.
He also started to hit me and pinched me when i hold him outside and someone say hi to him.
I think he got this from my autistic brother. We spent a month at my parents house. And that behaviour is what my brother was doing.

What can i do to make him stop? And what can i say to him when he do that? Without making it worse. Or should i just ignore it and he will grow out of this?

I can’t even have conversation with anyone when we were out. Because he keeps hitting my face.

Difficult time

No one talks about how difficult is being woken up by your toddler at 5am in the morning then trying to entertain them until a reasonable time when shops or parks open…all that while hubby sleeps in undisturbed. And yes I try to wake him up but nothing could move him from the bed.

I personally find that time of the day so difficult when baby tries their best to push boundaries 😔
