I found my husband on top of another woman and I didn’t leave but it’s eating me away slowly. Women who didn’t leave how did you cope with yourself? I need help because I don’t see myself leaving.

My dad passed away in June and I didn’t find out till November due to estrangement. I always held out hope that we would be reunited. Now I’m pregnant and while I have a great support system around me it hurts that my dad will never meet my baby. My moms partner is happy to become a Pop Pop and while I’m so grateful...

Moved my bd out the way so my husband can find me 💕 I’m so happy and feel so free. I’m a single mom with 2 girls, in my healing era & can’t wait to have my happily ever after and give my girls the best life 😊

My baby could play up to two hours sometimes by herself. I don’t really leave her alone but I feel like it’s too much? Am I wrong? I feel terrible. Like I should play with her more. I do but not 2 hours at a time.

So I feel really stupid as im so clear on what i will or will not allow in terms of my boundaries. But sometimes I can not help but feel bad for the person who's on the receiving end, let's say. Even though I know all of my boundaries are totally reasonable.

Why is it every time I want to see a friend or have a friend round my partner is too ill?! And I mean every bloody time!! 😔 Another catch up with my bestfriend cancelled tonight, which was already rearranged as he was also not feeling well on the last time. 😢 Planned for two weeks and then he rocks up from work (2…

I thought after having a baby, my friendships with my friends with kids would strengthen. Instead it just feels like I’m chasing everyone and putting myself out there and no one else is reciprocating. Most have children the same age as mine. So I just thought it’d be natural to see each other more, not less. Just ti...

My daughter is two and a half. She is my world and I wouldn’t have it any other way. But since having her I feel like I lost who I am completely. It’s been so hard for me to find a job and I honestly feel like I’m good for nothing. The only thing I’m good at is being a mother. I love being a mom, but is that all I’m...

Idk . . I had a baby 6 months ago and it’s hard sometimes to look in the mirror , sometimes idek who I am 😫 . . I hate thissss ugh 🥺 cus when does it better ?

Anyone else feel old as hell in their 30’s with a family and struggling to feel human?? No?? Just me?? Oh okay.. 🫤 I need someone who can relate and be friends with! I’m 34 with a ginormous family, working, married, and voted for Trump both times 🤣 😂😂

No real meaning behind this post just want to know that im not alone😩 I have a 2 year old undergoing tests for ASD and a 7 month old. I am struggling so bad in this chapter of motherhood, every day is a constant battle, I feel like every day is the same. Im not enjoying my life right now I love my children so much…

I'm feeling quite sad this evening about my baby boy who's just over two, I think he has autism and I just wish I could chat with him so badly but he just doesn't understand communication and doesn't speak, I pray with everything I have, he will get diagnosed and the speech therapy will help him because I feel so lo...

me n my partner live with my mum & i’m expecting my baby in july! i want to stay here because it’s cheaper & also, we have a big spare room for baby. however, i am worried that i won’t be as independent & i’ll subconsciously let my mum do everything because i’ll be tired😢 has anyone experienced this or did you…

My mom moved to be close to me & my kids. Which is great. I truly love having her around. But she doesn’t have a support system here (aside from me & my kids) & doesn’t want one. No friends, she doesn’t work, no other family close by. These are her choices, she could work or get out & meet people if she wanted to. A...

I have had a pretty traumatic year on top of just having a (second) baby and i feel like everyone i thought was a good friend has completely dropped off the face of the earth. During good times they have been good friends but i feel like any hardships and i never hear from them. I feel like people dont know what t...

😭 no real friends or family that’s close. I’m over it all.

Who here feels like they are capital D-DONE having kids. And who feels like they'll never "feel" DONE? I'm currently a Mama to 3 kids. I love kids and I don't think I'll ever feel "DONE" if that makes sense 🤔😂. I'm stopping myself at 3 due to the lack of support that I have and because I want to be sure I can…

I used to be so on top of everything and these days I feel a bit more frazzled and takes me a bit longer to process things. My brain feels like mush part sometimes. Is this my new norm?? How do I fix this?

I'm now sat here, 15 weeks left, nothing more I can really do other than the odd shop for baby and organising is scheduled for Sunday. I spend all day watching videos on parenting tips and lists of things I'll need from this point on. Anyone else feeling like they are just waiting and feeling kind of lost?
