I really need help I wanna run away today with my kids because I’m tired of my partner being so verbally abusive towards me and my kids I have several voice recordings and videos of him saying very mean things to us. I’m afraid to go to a women’s and children shelter because I won’t be able to afford my own apartmen...

My toddler hates me. She always acts out with me. The tantrums are an all day everyday thing. But with her dad she’s always in her best behavior. Today at our local library there was a Bluey event and I thought she would enjoy it. Unfortunately she was doing a tantrum with me where I just couldn’t hold my tears anym...

Our baby is 9 months old. I feel like my marriage is crumbling. We can't make time for romance or private time together (sexy time), he's always working and coming back angry at me for things I didn't do. Misplacing things that he lost, etc. He also gets mad at me for feeling tired and not feeling like getting the b...

My health visitor has suggested I've got PPD now at 16 weeks PP. I don't know if this is related or if it's normal/just me but holy shit the smallest things are irritating the crap out of me! It's mainly stuff my partner is saying. Now don't get me wrong he's great, and I know he's saying it all in jest but oh my Go...

So I've always had a difficult relationship with my mum, she is a narcissist so it's really hard to have a real relationship with her, and by her own admittance she sort of said she only had me because she's Catholic and they don't believe in abortions (I'm the youngest of five) so she never wanted me. Last week my ...

My husband enjoys making music during his free time. Way to express and release. Love that! However it’s something we had fought over today. He was creating music from 7am to 12pm. During that time I handled majority around the house. Whatever I could. As well as our 6 yr old. Fine. Once 12 hit I asked him how much ...

I love my partner but since having 2 under 2 I’ve become a SAHM with his request which I don’t mind I love being with my babies and I’m thankful I can. He tells me every weekend he’s going to go to a shooting range with his dad for a couple hours then be home. 8 hours later I’m cooking dinner while juggling both bab...

My son is 3 weeks old, this is my first & the first time my mum has become a grandmother. She is popping round every day sometimes for hours on end ‘helping’ . I appreciate the support & during the first I asked for it but I’m back on my feet & want my own space to just be a mum & get used to my life now. When she c...

My little girl is a sweetheart and so much fun. She processes her feelings and emotions very well and articulates how she feels very maturely. However, she recently started saying ‘I’m feeling sad’ and when asked why, she’ll say ‘because Mommy/Daddy hit me’. We have never ever hit her at all and she’ll say it when w...

I have given this man 100s and 100s of chances tried 2 breaks until I finally broke up with him it’s been almost 8 months and he won’t move out. During those 8 months he was supposed to be working on himself for me and his son. I tried trusting him and listening to him but he wouldn’t let me on his phone. I then saw...

So I’ve become friends with two other mums and everything was going fine for a while. Then I’ve gradually noticed little things like planning play dates with the kids always on the days I was working. We then decided to go on a vacation with the kids, I mentioned what time I would be arriving (later than them as I c...

For context, my sister and FIL both said they get cold sores from time to time but both have been kissing our LO on her cheeks/around her face and has freaked out my OH. We’ve asked them to stop and both have been angry. FIL lost it and threw stuff and shouted nastiness. And my sister was rude about husbands anxiety...
