I no longer feel like there's hope for me. I don't feel like I'm ever going to be happy again, I don't feel like my child is going to be happy and have a good life, I don't feel like I'm ever going to amount to anything, amd I definitely don't feel like I'm ever going to find love. I've tried to remain positive I've tried to be happy and I've tried forgetting all the hurt and my life literally gets worse by the day. I'm a prisoner in my own home and then told I'm a piece of shit for having depression and anxiety I don't want to die but I definitely don't enjoy living anymore either. I could never give up my little girl to anyone else but I also feel incredibly selfish for keeping her knowing how miserable and horrible life without a father is and how my depression will definitely affect her. Ive never felt like I hit rock bottom before but I do now, my family makes me feel so worthless and like a total piece of shit but then when I stand up for myself then I'm ridiculous and a bitch I just honestly do give up at this point.
Life with out my son father is awesome to me it's not that bad I promise don't be hard on urself believe ur mother instincts will kick in and this feeling will leave
@kailey.gallentine yeah and I am all of that but I do have daddy issues because I didn't have a father I missed out on so much because he was never around
She doesn't need a dad to be a happy child. My bio father was never in my life and I've only met him once. It hasn't negatively affected myself or my life or my mannerisms one bit. I don't have ANY desire to meet him and I had an amazing childhood because he wasn't there. Sometimes an absent father is 100% less damaging than a half ass one. It's all about how you handle a situation and who you raise your daughter to be. Being a single mom isn't the end of the world babe. And you don't need to find love and have a man in your life to be the kick ass mom you're built to be. Just slowly work towards getting out of ALL the negativity your family brings and move on. There are programs to help with EVERYTHING especially for single moms. Job placement, govt aid, all that! It's doable. It's not a walk in the park. But it's doable.
You gotta teach your daughter to be a strong ass independent woman who doesn't need a man and can work for everything she has and more. You can teach her to be a responsible, compassionate, loving, and accountable human being all while being a single mom
But you can't think like that n expect to have what you want......I was taught prepare for the worse n hope for the best.. I know things look dem now but out that effort in towards the positive change n see what happens
@saniyyahhasan and I'm also living proof not everyone has a happy ending not everyone finds their soul mates and has a good father figure around
He took that job of daddy of my son. My son never seen his dad. Well sort of we broke up when he was 2 months old. He don't even claim my son but the DNA did thru the court but won't pay ordered child support. My son call my hubby daddy. N my hubby call my son his. I telling you this bc there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Just take a step back n work on you n your baby. I am living proof that everything will be OK
Please don't be hard on your self take a step back n work on the things you can help first
I was a single mom several times in my life first BD was controlling n got into drugs he left me when I was diagnosed with cancer. I moved on several years later to a man who abused me n when my cancer came back he cheated instead of support n I stayed for 3 yrs n had my son but the abuse continued n the cheating so I had to leave. I was single mom with two kids. I too became very depressed n thought about taking my life too but my kids would not have a mom. I use to smoke n drink n take anti depression pills. I hit rock bottom sort of speak. Something told me to stop n get back into my religion slowly. And I did I stopped my bad habits n stop taking those nasty pills. I worked in myself for a year n was finally ready to find a hubby thru my religion it took another year but I found my now husband. Long story short we been married for 3 yrs now but known each other for 4
@saniyyahhasan yeah I'm the child of a single mom that's where my frustration comes from because my whole life the one person I wanted to give a fuck never has
My son don't have his father in his life BUT I was patient enough to eventually some one who took that job of being a dad to him. You have to have patience n faith in God
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

@sadiesmommy, well at the end of the day it made you a stronger person. And living through it you can teach your daughter how not to have them. There's some things, yes, she can miss out on. But in this day and age it's slim to none. Some babies have two mommies and no dads. You don't need a man in her life. She needs people who love her and treat her like the princess she is 💜
