Feeling alone

My husband did a voluntary deportation a month before I gave birth and will be gone for 3 yrs we talk everyday and all night when I’m having trouble to put little one down. But I feel alone because I’m doing it all by myself I never pictured me having all these first time experiencing by myself and always wanted my husband but then I feel guilty because I feel this way and he would kill for these moments with our son and I’m complaining about doing it alone and that he won’t go to sleep just the small things that I get overwhelmed sometimes. I feel like a bad mom because of it sometimes

You are never a bad mom for being overwhelmed. You are going through something very difficult not only postpartum but postpartum without your partner and everything else around probably going on. Just remember it’s okay to be tired and it’s okay not to know what to do and it’s also okay to ask for a little help from a trusted person in your life.

It’s sad to hear. People don’t realize this administration is separating families. Don’t blame yourself it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, you’re doing a great job by holding on even tho you’re struggling. Look for resources and a community to help you so you are not alone. You’re a great mom always remember that.

Hi, im so sorry you are going through this. I am also going through something similar but contrary to you, my babies dad is not far away we just decided to go our separate ways. Ever since she was a newborn it’s really just been me and her and I too have felt like a bad mom when it comes to a lot of things. But thats not fair to feel like that when we show up everyday and try our best. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Dios te tiene en sus manos! If you wanna talk feel free to reach out(: everything will be ok

Is it normal to have no mum friends?

I didn't join an NCT group and local What's app groups people didn't want to meet up. Is that normal? I have about three friends in real life anyway.

Single Mom Questions

Hey guys not sure if this is the right group to post this on but I needed to ask for some help/advice.

Last week I was kicked out of my apartment by my baby’s dad. I lost my home and everything was completely uprooted in my life. I haven’t been able to work since my baby refuses bottles and sippy cups since she’s barely 6 months old. I’m trying hard to get her to take them but it’s so stressful and has not been easy.

Since I haven’t been able to bottle feed her, I haven’t been able to work. I lost my car in a bad accident and I have nothing except myself and my baby. My parents took me in so I’m not homeless but I feel extremely guilty that I’m there with my baby.

Does anyone know of any remote job opportunities, or freelance work that I can try so I can make some money for a car and an apartment? I’m stuck and I really need some help or advice.
Maybe some tips on trying to get her on a bottle or sippy cup.

Please any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Friends?

Hi all. Im an almost 37 year old mama. I have 3 human babies 16 year old daughter (chose to live with grandparents), almost 13 year old son (end of month) and a 1 1/2 year old daughter. Oh and let's not forget two 1 1/2 year old huskies and an almost 3 year old husky.

My life sounds chaotic. And it pretty much is. It's why I'm looking for mom friends that has an understanding to my chaos. I get so overwhelmed, sometimes I just need a friend to talk to.

I have one local bestie who has her own problems and one long distance bestie.

Im wanting to find a closer bestie to me in Colorado Springs. But will take more long distance besties as well!

If you're down to talk and chit chat about whatever we can come up with, shoot me a message.
