I understand what you’re saying about how “talking only works for so long as people get fed up of listening eventually.” While it’s good for us to open up to our friends and family when we need help, sometimes it just doesn’t seem like enough (or it seems like too much to share with your relatives and friends). Many moms visit with a therapist or counselor once a week just to talk about their feelings and struggles as a mom. Or visit with a spiritual leader in your community to find out about resources that might be available to you through your local house of worship. Thanks for sharing and best of luck on your parenting journey!

as a single mother of 3 kids between 9 & 16 i’m constantly overwhelmed my youngest is always fighting for attention & as a result can be very difficult he soils regularly & never sleeps before 11 pm no matter how early i put him “to bed”
my eldest is very controlling & is currently refusing help for an eating disorder or her ocd, she has just started her a levels. my middle one is very quiet until on her own. due to her sisters sharp tongue & drive (making her an a* student) she feels stupid much of the time.
whilst trying to keep my head above water i’m also trying to finish my 2nd year at uni work & have time for myself as well….i have help in terms of a monthly meet with a family support officer who offers coffee & a “your doing really well”
i find talking only works for so long as people get fed up of listening eventually
