Why do I miss him?

My son’s dad treated me awful. Cheating, manipulative, narcissistic, pathological liar, etc. out 4 years together I did nothing but fight for a dead relationship and cry. After a year of being broken up, why do I still miss him? I don’t want to be with him anymore but sometimes I miss him.

However, finding two babies still so so challenging every second of the day. From feeding, to burping, to sleeping. Both are so different and hard to mana...

Lonely

I hate how annoyed I can get when my child doesn't go to sleep or wakes up too early. He's clearly frustrated that he can't sleep and then km frustrated with him. I have no support. I feel so alone sometimes.

How much am I overreacting to this reply?

I tend to overthink things so feel free to reel me back in in a respectful manner please. Personally just didn't like the no response on the other message and not asking if I'm free tomorrow.

What Village

I normally hate complaining, and rarely do, but I am so freaking tired. Been a single parent since my baby was 5 months (She’s now 4), and I have no Village, no support, no breaks, no nights out, no life, no friends, just work, school pickup/drop offs, working overtime to keep up with bills, sleep, repeat. I feel l...
