Looking to make friends with other moms who also don't have family support
Show your support
Yes!! Per my boyfriend, I actually stay in contact with them and learning to stand up for myself but yes! Feel free to reach out if need be
I don’t have friends or a village either. Especially on my bd’s side of the family. They’re pretty much nonexistent when it comes to our children. Would love to find more supportive mothers to talk to.
Yesss. Realizing my family was/is unhealthy/unsafe was the first step- then I became a first time mom and realized my closet friendships resembled the same unhealthy dynamics my family displayed (an awakening that I choose friends that paralleled my own family wounds). I've had to distance myself, or go full blown no contact, in a lot of relationships which hasn't been easy- but it's given me more peace and trust in myself, which has helped me be the kind of mother I want to be. Always here to support or chat! you are definitely not alone.
You just described my family!
This! My second pregnancy is taking me through this journey of self discovery. Is incredible how having a child has shown me so much. I tried to have a conversation about my childhood to my mom about it, first got the silent treatment and then got sarcasm. It hurts.
Yo what's up
