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

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.

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.

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 in NC?

Looking for mom friends as most my other friends aren't in this stage of life lol
Im 22 and a full time sahm to my 10 month baby girl.
Shes super energetic and outgoing and I think shes getting to a point where she needs friends to socialize with!
I'm also definitely trying to push myself to be more social and get out of the house more often as ive been stuck inside and not in a great mental state!
I'm into anything crafty, outdoorsy, and the occasional outing!
