I hate MY PARTNER SO MUCH

Y’all, I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. It feels like my partner keeps pushing my buttons until I react angrily, and it’s happening in front of my son. That’s the part that hurts the most.

My son has always been a huge mama’s boy, but lately whenever there is tension, he runs straight to his dad. I know he’s just a child and is probably responding to the situation, but it still breaks my heart. Sometimes I’m scared that if our relationship keeps getting worse, I’ll start feeling like I’m losing the closeness and bond I’ve always had with my son.

That thought terrifies me, because my son is everything to me. Right now I feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, and afraid of losing the one relationship that means the most in my life.

Leaving

I'm leaving my husband. I can't do it anymore. I've decided that I'd rather be a single mother than a married single mother. The terrible part is that due to his anger issues, I have to do it secretly. Any tips on escaping an abusive partner?

I'm already looking for a new place in a different part of the state where I have more support of extended family and friends.

I had to breakdown and tell my mom everything and she and my family feel it is best that I go to the other city because I don't have anyone here except him. He has been verbally and physically (throwing objects and shoving) abusive so I have to basically plan and escape because telling him straight up might result in a situation that would land him straight in jail. I really don't want to do that to him.

I do love him but as a mother of a little girl I have to show her better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Blueberry Baby 🫐

My baby is almost 9M and absolutely loves blueberries. Not strawberries, not raspberries; just blueberries!

Food he hates are: lentils, eggs and sardines. Now I just hid it under blueberries. Is it weird to eat sardines and blueberries- of course! But does he eat it- hell yeah.

At this point I could hide a mountain under blueberries 🫐 😂 and he would gulp it all.

Do your kids have a particular food obsession?

(Picture from last year, when I was plucking blueberries)

Parent Self-regulation

Hello,

Any advice on how to self-regulate when you’re overwhelmed with your child? Or if you’re dealing with a tantrum how do you not lose your cool?

I only have an infant but I want to make sure I break my family’s history of abuse by being gentle with my own kid.

TIA

Tw: baby loss

Im really struggling right now and feel so angry but i just dont know how to deal with it. Me and my partner found out we were pregnant a couple of months ago and then not long after he was deployed, in the second week of his deployment we lost our baby and Im so proud of him and love him to bits but im so angry at the fact that apparently the military needed him more and i couldnt have him with me , and I had to deal with it all alone, i have no clue when he will be home , and i feel like i cant grieve and really struggled with being able to go to work, go out leave my house because it all feels to raw and i just want him home so i feel safe enough to grieve . I just want a hug from him 😭💔
