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

I’m so sorry your going through it

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.

It’s okay to feel that way it is overwhelming to do it all alone especially when you’re sleepy & baby won’t go to sleep it can be a bit frustrating , you’re not a bad mom you’re a great one! I pray for blessings over your family if you wanna talk my DM’s are open 🩷

Are you in ouchita parish?

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
