Anyone else finding that new motherhood seems to be the fastest way to alienate childless friends or lose friendships through changing priorities? Baby is not quite 4 weeks old and several friends have texted in the last few days complaining I either don’t have time for them, don’t text back, or sound insincere whe...

I don't have any friends. We moved to a new city two years ago and I still have not found any friends and the previous friendships fizzled out due to distance. I feel like I really tried, especially since having my little boy. I met up with a few women from this app and went to multiple baby groups, and even though ...

My understanding this morning. I'm not thrilled but I'm also not sad.

Hey it's not about a romantic relationship so I hope it's okay, just need some feedback. My baby is 9 months, was conceived by a hook up who isn't involved so I've been a single mom the whole time and my small group of friends mostly doesn't have kids and are in more of a party/hangouts/having fun life stage.

How do people get over the thought of not having more children because your partner doesn’t want another? I know for most they are fine with that, but I feel it deep in my soul that im meant to be a Mum of 3 and my journey is not done. I can’t bare the thought of my baby being my last one. Advice or reassurance woul...

I'm really struggling this week. I cant stand any of my clothes I have, the way I look, my hair my face, my body. I just feel completely lost in who I am right now. Every picture I see of myself I scrutinise recently too. My life is so busy with 4 kids at home , 2 are my step children who are with us 50% and I'm jus...

What mental illness would cause someone to be supportive when times are good then when you hit a bump in the road in life they do anything to try to break you down mentally? Like hit way below the belt? Or is this just secret animosity?

I’m struggling so hard. I don’t know who I am…. I’ve been a mom since I was 17… outside of being a mom and a wife I really don’t know who the hell I am…. I don’t even know what I like anymore… I feel so broken and damaged and unfixable…. I just really don’t wanna be here anymore…

I love my little boy to pieces, he is my total world but I'm really struggling lately 😭.

I feel so much grief about how quickly time is passing. My baby is 5 months now and I feel like time is flying. I have a pain in my heart that comes and goes, and it’s grief. It follows me around. I don’t know why other than I want time to stop. I love being a mother and I love everyday with my baby but the days go ...

What does self care look like for you in a typical week. How long you spend doing something relaxing, etc and what is it? how do you find the time for yourself?

I’m so sad of being lonely. I’m a single mum and I have no friends or family around me. I can keep myself busy and distracted with my daughter but as soon as she’s gone to bed or is at her dads, I feel so lonely. It’s been 2 years of feeling like this and I’m exhausted from it. I no longer enjoy my hobbies anymore f...
