Honestly feel like ever since I became a mother I'm slowly losing who I use to be. Since I'm a stay at home mom, and we only have 1 car, I dont get to go out at all. I dont have any friends here since I moved 6 hours away from my hometown. I have no family here. With my husband working 12 hour days, sometimes I want an another adult to talk to. It makes me feel horrible. Like I'm failing, as a mother and wife. I also feel like im failing myself. I never have time to take care of me. My hair is always a mess, never have time to do my makeup, or even do a simple 30 minute workout. I'm sorry this is so long and all over the place. I have been holding all this in for the past 2 years.

@kmsespy no I dont have any family close by. They all live 6 hours away. The thing about hire a sitter, is that it doesnt really do much if I have no transportation.
@flamingomom I can but wouldnt have a car and the library would be close by the time my husband gets home. It's not really safe to walking around, especially me being alone with 2 small kids.
Do you live close to family?
It sounds like you just need a friend and a night to regain your sense of self.
It’s time for some you time and it definitely doesn’t mean you’re failing as a mother or as a wife, not at all -it’s true that routine can often times close up our social interaction.
I’d get a baby sitter or family member and see about finding some basic social interaction anywhere even just at your local library alone ^ or with your kids at the park.
@flamingomom no I live in pasadena tx, and i live on a busy street. And there's always homeless people walking around. It just makes me kinda uncomfortable
