I’m just tired of being a single mom

First time mom to a 14 month old. Didn’t have the best pregnancy her dad didn’t make it easy on me . Trying to heal from postpartum depression & trauma.. cheating and abuse I endured. Grieving what could’ve been my family. I don’t even know who I am anymore outside of being a mom. Don’t have much of a village , I’m overwhelmed. Some days are better than others but today is one of those days where I’m just wishing that someone had my back. I think if anyone hugged me long enough I’d burst into tears . Motherhood is so lonely. Whenever I say I’m not okay people literally ignore me because “I’m strong” what will it take for someone to actually see and hear me

My heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry you are going through all this. I know it's easier said than done but try and get the support you need. Maybe find a mom group. If you need someone to chat, feel free to message me

Sending hugs 🫂. I totally relate it’s so overwhelming doing it alone. I also relate to telling ppl how tired you are n they don’t take it seriously. It hurts not having a village especially from people who know what’s it like being a mom.

It’s like outside of community I’m craving companionship. My heart literally aches and I hate it so badly. I left because I didn’t want my baby thinking any kind of abuse is normal. I’ve tried “dating” or just talking to guys and I’m so turned off by everything . People who I thought were my friends or family just feels weird.. I’m a few blocks away from family members and I still am lonely , nobody truly understands ppd and just looks at it as me overreacting. I’ll often hear stories about them being single mothers and instead of help it feels and sounds more like “I suffered , now it’s your turn” I don’t feel the love at all . Trying to find new friends and family makes me feel so low .. btw thank you ladies 🤧💗

Sexless

Anyone else not having sex with their partner after having a baby? Our baby is nearly 6 months and I think we’ve literally done it about 3 times since baby was born …

I literally say about it all the time and he either ignores and changes the conversation or will agree and when it comes to it has an excuse. Starting to get really fed up. I know it is selfish but I also have needs…

Rant!

Why is it that I see so much hate on this app granted most of it is loving a supportive but you get the odd one that is being hateful and disrespectful and this is an app for support and advice not hate if u don’t agree with something you see either say it nicely or not at all! I also did a post a while ago on sleep training asking for advice on what to do and stuff but the hole comment section was vile I just think this is a place where we should come together not tear each other down!

Is it just me or are there other people seeing this too ? ❤️
