Lonely, need to vent someone listen 😓

So I’ve been doing literally everything alone since I found out I was pregnant. I now have a 4 month old, I love him so much, but lately the loneliness is eating my alive, I don’t get any support, no village, nobody to say give me the baby go shower, eat, ect, and I live with cousin! We literally moved in together so she can help me with the baby but instead she runs out the house before I even get a chance to ask for help, without even checking on me or him. We are all moving out within a month or 2 so I will be even more alone not sure if it will make a difference. And between trying to work from home, and juggling a child that eats every 30-45 minutes, I don’t know how I am surviving and will continue to. I just want to know that there are other single moms out there with a success story 😪. That there is a light at the end of this tunnel

Show your support

❤️so sorry to hear you’re going through that… I’m not sure of your situation with the father of the child but is there anyway he can help or is he just fully nonexistent? As far as Family goes, is there anyone else near or was your cousin the only option? There are a ton of support groups but that only goes so far. I was a single mom for a while, and it is definitely hard but the support from family helps. Also if you want to message me I’m here to lend an ear❤️

Being a single mum is always going to be hard mentally but you have to say resilient. I had people left right and centre saying they’ll be my village once my baby is born but my daughter is also now 4 months and it was all just talk. My mum is sometimes available and my friends have all changed on me. Making mum friends was the best thing I did and I only have 2 who actually support me both with my daughter and emotionally. Sometimes you just need that one person. Don’t get me wrong though it is very lonely. Sometimes we go out and visit people but when we get home, those nights are lonely because you’re alone with your thoughts while little one is asleep. During the day when you’re being a mum and doing your routinely activities, it hits you that you’re alone but it won’t last long. I don’t know how it is in the US but we have mum & baby groups in the UK at our local libraries. Try making some mum friends and planning play dates. It may not be a significant difference but sometimes-

just spending a few hours with someone else who has a child can ease the load.

I can't imagine to be in your shoes, and my thoughts are with you. Hope you get all the love you deserve in this world! You are not alone, you are a strong mama!

@Boots2Asses🥾🍑 so baby daddy is a special level of crazy and we are hiding from him. And sadly if I had other family I can go to I wouldn’t be in this position with my cousin 😪

Have you spoken to your cousin? Without putting expectations just saying, you feel like it's all too much and you can't keep up with everything?

@Trainette haha yea. We’re moving out because not only she wasn’t helping but she makes a total slob of the house and doesn’t pick after herself. I blew up in the middle of the night about this few months ago and we decided to move when our lease ends and she avoids me completely since then
