Do you ever

Do you ever just feel like “things would be so much easier if it were just me and my baby” ? My daughter’s father and I just haven’t been on the same page for a while now. I’ve made mistakes such as not being supportive when he wants an overnight job, leaving me to raise our 16month old and HIS two children 5,6. He’s made mistakes like not listening to anything I say, doesn’t allow me to express my emotions without shutting me out and being controlling. Obviously I’ve made more mistakes than not being supportive however I feel like he’s the reason why I’m this way now. He complains that he misses the way I used to be…you mean before I had a child and became a full time step parent to your two children who can be very ungrateful and frankly don’t care that much for me? Nobody in this house notices me until something needs to be done or the baby is crying. I haven’t slept in past 7am since BEFORE I was pregnant. I wake up at 5am everyday for work and he gets upset that I fall asleep on the couch at 8pm AFTER cooking and cleaning for 5 people. Now I’m just starting to think how easier it would be with just me and my daughter. How much energy and even money I would save if it were just me and her. I can cry and sob and my partner won’t even care. He used to not be like this. I asked what were the first three words he thinks of when he thinks of me. You know what the very first word was. Housewife. I work full time as a teacher then clock right back in once I get home to be the head of household. You couldn’t even say beautiful? I’m starting to feel like I’m only wanted as a babysitter and maid. I’m tired of this. I’m only 23, I’m wasting my life away for people who don’t notice me

Hey girl Im going through the same thing now Im going through divorce he moved out begging of January and the one thing I can say Im not angry all the time like he uses to called it now is only me and my daughter and I feel like the weight was lifted from my shoulders

@Keisy how was the moving out situation. We have so much stuff. I have a place to go for me and my daughter it’s just all the work it’s going to take to move out makes me wonder if it’s worth it

It took him about 2 days to actually leave but the peace you feel afterwards is definitely worth it

@Keisy well I would have to move out so it would be me doing all of the moving. He tells me “walk out that door and see what happens” sir that makes me want to leave even more

He thinks you are bluffing but deep down he know he needs you more than you need him

@Keisy well he doesn’t show that. I told him I’m not the kind of person who begs someone to stay, because I’m not. I never have been and he knew that from the very beginning three years ago. And he says he thinks that stupid because he always begs me to stay and I said yeah he should stop because I’m not staying for love I’m staying because I want you to get off the floor and stop looking foolish

Same here I don’t beg nobody so he left and I haven’t felt this good in a long time it was just to draining plus post partum and learning how to be a mom with no help and never having time for me and now that he left I feel more like me and happier

@Keisy how are we going to be able to manage time for ourselves as single moms

I have no clue girl Im learning as I go and just taking it day by day but believe Im scared my idea was not to do this alone but we are moms we always make it happen for them but Im here if you want to vent or anything feel free to message me

@Keisy thank you for your support ❤️
