@Lyss thanks for sharing. I guess it comes down to just accepting this is how life will be now. My mental and physical health is really bad so being able to leave my child with the father was helpful but the new norm seems so hard to grasp and accept. I just hate how he will get to just live his life and I’m here stuck inbetween four walls miserable. Don’t get me wrong I love my child but I don’t cope well when things get too much with motherhood and just feel I need timeout
I know I’m sorry I can’t personally give a happy experience… but yeah the acceptance is hard but you aren’t alone! We can do this!
I didnt go out alone everytime with baby and its mostly to the park , nowhere else, I am at home everytime , no family , no friends , my luxury is drinking coffee in my apartment ;) I never want to leave my daughter because she is my world light , otherwise I would be loosing , now the time turning for me so good things will come , should come , must come. ;)
I don’t go out. I don’t have alone time. I am going through depleted mother syndrome and I’m disabled. But even though I’m struggling and completely isolated all my family is dead. I still would never want to be with their dad again he broke trust and I was beyond repair because he was an abusive narcissist so I will never go back no matter how much I’m suffering my kids are still better off. My kids are worth my sacrifice eventually they’ll be old enough that I can leave them home alone for a couple hours for me time until then I pick up hobbies to do at home and try to find community in online spaces. I have tried for babysitters but I haven’t found one that was good that lasts unfortunately.
