Overwhelmed mama

You’re not alone! I’ve been there, and I feel the same way when I talk to my mom too. I shut down, stay quiet, or I try to hide it and not share. This will pass. I promise

It’s OK you’re doing great ! I’m 20 weeks right now and I think I’m going to be in the same boat as you soon. I’m afraid I’m going to be alone in the delivery room!

My husband forgot my birthday and our anniversary. I found text messages 10 years ago between my husband and my mother and they were really perverted I can’t drop it ! I can’t talk to my mother at all because she is a “” single grandma “” code for pedo cougar on the loose. My mental health is absolutely disasterous. I haven’t even started baby prepping. I keep freaking out at my husband and he’s blocked me now and I can’t speak to him at all.


Anyways… point being,
these people fucking suck. They’re making our happy times sad ! I wish I didn’t have a husband or a mother at all and then my life would be perfect. I guess what we’re dealing with is the memory of these people and the ghost of them living in our lives.

Like wouldn’t it be so great to have no memory of these people we’d be so happy with the baby 🧐🤷‍♀️😵‍💫 ?!

It sounds like your mom is not an emotionally safe person unfortunately. It’s normal go get a little overwhelmed. We all have struggles! Again that’s normal. It won’t be easy, sure, cuz being a mother isn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be ok. You got this! And you might do better when you get out from your mother’s home cuz her negativity definitely won’t help you feel like you are going to be ok, but you will! 🫶🏻

Ur not alone girl if u ever need to talk jist message me

You are not alone ❤️ what you’re managing is beyond difficult…. Yet you are doing it with all the love in your heart and that means you are doing EVERYTHING right xxxx

I think our parents generation had a totally different experience of motherhood or they don’t remember what it really feels like to be in the thick of it…
I solo parent my baby boy of 2 years mostly, my husband travels for work so he is hardly home. So when the sleep regression hits or teething or sickness it genuinely feels so isolating and overwhelming because you still have to manage the rest of the day without failure… while holding the exhaustion and probably also being sick yourself. There’s no rest, no downtime no one to come and take over.
None of that is easy…. You’re doing a DAMN good job, you just keep going keep putting one foot in front of the other honey because you’re doing great and we see you ❤️

Please dont apologise. Being a mum is so tough....so rewarding but yes, so tough!
They go through these fussy phases but I bet you are doing an amazing job shaping your little bestie.
Just do what you can do for now. Itll all fall into place. Sending love xx
