Anyone out there with no support?

Here, Mama 👋. We’ve recently moved, and now all our friends and family are far away—it’s just us. I honestly can’t remember the last time we went on a date or had time alone together. Plus, my husband works overnight, so most days, it’s just me and the baby, which can be really overwhelming. I recently opened up to my husband about feeling lonely, too. It’s not easy, especially emotionally and mentally, but we’ve got to hang in there. If it’s just you and your husband, maybe ask him to step in more wherever he can—it makes a difference for your mental well-being.

Just us too. I find the holidays always saddening/triggering. And a reminder of how much your family has disappointed/failed you (and your kids) or abandoned you.

Are you friends with any neighbors? Friends from your kids schools? They're older so it should be easier We are military and have no friends or family here, but we did make neighbor friends but my baby is under one so I'm not interested in leaving him besides daycare we go on day time dates And if I had extra money I'd pay a nanny to come to my home to go out Hope thatchelps

I have the same situation. My mom is not someone I'd trust with my daughter. My husband's family is too far. It sucks.

Yes. It’s been very very hard. My partner has been helpful with chores. I try to remember that this very hard time will pass. Every year, the kids become more aware and responsible. This time will pass. And I remind myself that no matter how hard it gets, my child needs me, so it is important for me to get the mental break or therapy help to help me cope.

We do have help that I am forever thankful for but it's hard getting a night out with my husband working weekends and feel bad asking my MIL to watch both kids. We will sometimes do a date night at home after the kids go to bed. Wine, popcorn and movies are some of the best date nights we've had.

@Priscilla I only have one of them in school. I’ve met three of his friends and their parents only one I trust with my kids but she hardly ever replies. We live in the country so just a few neighbors and only one I trust

@Chelle maybe look for a Facebook group in your area to meet friends and also what about church if you go that is

Yep, I understand this. We do everything on our own and it’s not easy but we make it work. I’m grateful I have a husband that’s helpful with the kids, home and everything.

Same..itz so hard

Yes girl. We moved half way across the country to get away from our toxic families. It was scary and we’ve had extremely stressful moments, but it’s also been rewarding. We moved during the pandemic to a state we never visited, no family or friends to help. I’m a sahm and I have my days… no baby sitter or anyone we trust just yet. Ugh. I hope you’re doing well, if you ever need to chat/vent shoot me a message. Btw, I LOVE your profile photo! You have a beautiful family mama.

@Stephanie thank you I appreciate it!

There’s hardly any women around my area that aren’t 1+ hrs away

Yes same here. I have a 3 year old and 3 month old. My husband moved to California from Australia and my parents are too old and live a couple hours north. . My mom is an alcoholic and when my son was a baby we had her coming over when we still lived up north to help a few days a week and we discovered she was drinking while watching him. INSANE I had to fire her and bump up day care to 5 days. We just can’t rely on anyone. Now that we moved we’re really isolated and it’s so hard!

Hey feel free to message me im in the same boat only ever a message away and willing to be a person to vent to or a shoulder to cry on about life stresses
