Anybody just feel blah ??? Like not bad not good just like not really yourself. Like I have periods when my babies sleep and I could just sit there in silence and just stare at the wall.

I can’t tell you how lonely I am and how much I crave intimacy, emotionally and mentally. I’m a single mum of two a 5 month old and 8 year old. It’s so lonely, so I drink a lot when the kids are in bed. I have some close friends but it still doesn’t compensate for having a partner to share living with. I feel I’m on...

Honesty is overrated if it’s weaponized. People glorify “brutal honesty,” but truth without empathy is just cruelty dressed up as virtue. Real honesty isn’t about saying everything on your mind—it’s about being authentic while considering the impact of your words. Being kind and truthful is a harder, but far more me...

Pre baby I used to be extremely social and love doing things with my friends, however since my boy I have no interest in doing anything outside of being with him. I think it’s because 1) I feel really self Conscious in how I look post baby, and 2) I don’t feel like any of my friends understand having a baby, as non ...

I’m a recently single mom of 2 under 2 and I’m struggling. We have no financial support, very little family support, and I’m currently unemployed because I was a stay at home mom and finding something just hadn’t been easy. As of a few days ago me and my children were in an accident luckily everyone ended up being o...

Hi I just joined this group and read some threads. Cannot believe I am not alone but also felt sad how many of us have to suffer. And pay terrible cost of enduring toxicity to stay in a marriage/relationship 😒

FaceTime or in-person mom friends?

I wish I had more friends where I lived. I love being a mom but it’s so lonely sometimes especially a stay at home mom.

I have my family, yes. But… idk how to explain it. It’s just….rough sometimes feeling so alone in this nonstop, repeat cycle.

While I can’t wait to meet my baby boy, part of me is feeling really sad about not being pregnant with him anymore. I feel so close and connected to him, why am I feeling sad about my pregnancy coming to an end?

I've come to accept I have no true friends, since having my second baby whose now 4 months I can count on 1 hand whose checked in or come to see us and then I've not heard anything back. I've had to reach out to friends myself and they've said they will come over soon but never actually come over. I understand every...
