Looking for support
Hi, I’m a first time mom of a 11 month old and have been going through something extremely traumatic with the family I was born into and no longer have contact with them. I only have one real mom friend in my area. If anyone is open to looking for more mom friends or to talking to me I could really use the support of a motherly community. My partner got hit in my car and my family hasnt for one minute cared who was in the car or how hurt he is, only that the car is gone. I already had PTSD and am struggling with it during this and in general and it’s very difficult trying to navigate being a new mom with a lack of a village. I’m trying to reach out to communities for support. Thank you
i feel you honey. you’re not alone. to me, it feels like everyone around me still talks to their family of origin (even if they have similar trauma) and it makes me feel crazy for deciding on this boundary. please know you made the right decision, no matter how lonely and baffling it can be (like not caring about you and your partner’s safety after the accident). i understand CPTSD and the long term grief you’re feeling, reach out anytime! i’m in the philly and montgomery county area :)
