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 😒

Being a mom is lonely

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.

Am I unusual?

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?

Jealous of couples

I've been broken up from my child's father for about 9 months now (felt like earlier than that) and I feel like everyone around me is in a seemingly happy relationship, even having another baby. I never had this feeling but I do get really down and jealous when I hear of news like that. Am I alone in this?
