Im so sick and tired of being alone. I actually started crying while I was supposed to be enjoying time with my husband and kids because of how lonely I feel.
I found out today everyone on my mom's side of the family was up doing a memorial service for my maternal grandparents and all spending time at the family camp i haven't been to in at least 8 years. No one bothered to tell me, no one bothered to invite me.. but my supposedly best friend was invited.. but not me..
Then at the festival I was at today, I was looking around seeing mom friends meeting up, hugging while their husbands shook hands, their kids played, and they were talking catching up. And i was standing alone with my baby while my husband was in line with our kids. That's when I started fighting back tears.
It hit me like a brick how fucking lonely I am. Ive tried reaching out so many times for so many years and get blown off, ghosted, and filled with false promises of future hangouts. The worst part is, both of our families live within 30 minutes of us. I have been raising our kids by myself while my husband is working for over 5 years now. No calls, no texts, no one checking in, no one asking to visit me or the kids. Family only want to be around when my husband is here.. whats so fucking wrong with me that everyone would rather act like I dont exist..? Why do my kids also have to pay the price for that.. they always ask about seeing people, but i dont know what to say to them because everyone is always "too busy". Why does no one give a literal fuck about me? The deep hatred and resentment I have built towards absolutely everyone around me is insane.
I just want some resemblance of a village.. friends and family who want to be around me and my kids.. i want to stop feeling like we're too much so theyd rather not have us around.. i get 3 boys can be a lot, but like.. i dont know.
I just dont want to feel so fucking alone anymore. Im always in such a bad mood, im constantly overwhelmed, I feel like i need a break because im constantly taking care of my kids 24/7, i feel like im failing them because I barely have the patience most days to be the mom they deserve. I hate this. I hate everyone.

Hey mamma. I can hear your hurt and anger through this message, and I feel for you! I can kind of relate, but I don’t have 3 boys, I have one girl and a very involved MIL. I guess the first thing I hope you hear is that you are absolutely worthy of love.
The second thing is harder to hear- the village you want takes work. You have to be the kind of person that attracts others - and you already admitted to being filled with anger, always in a bad mood, filled with resentment, basically totally exhausted and running on E in every way. I don’t say this with an ounce of judgement because I’ve so been there. The hard truth is you have to take care of yourself, ask for help, find a way to show up for yourself to build in some joy, find the things that make you grateful to be alive and people will come around! I know it’s hard, you’re not alone in that.
You’ve got this mamma, I believe in you!
