It hurts...

[Julymom2be]

Just a random rant, but I cant help to look at happy couples and get upset. I don't know if it is just me. Does anyone get this way? How do you cope with being a single mom or single parent?

I just want someone to be there for me when I need them and when Isabella needs them. I just want a happy family.

No I totally understand, I feel the same way. It will get better, or at least that's what I keep telling myself. We'll get our happy endings!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

I so know what your feeling, its normal to want the 'family life', but being a single mum does get better, you will have an amazing time with just you and your LO.

I look at people who are happy with there Child(ren) and think why can't i have it!
but one day someone will come along and you will realise they was worth the wait...

its gotten to the point where i sincerely cannot stand married couples. it drives me insane.. i don't even believe in marriage anymore.. or love.. but i just want to find someone decent.. but HE was decent until he left me in the dust.. sortof... ugh

Everyone gets lonely here and there. I feel the same as you in s lot of ways.

Yes I find it hard sometimes too. Like when i went for my last ultrasound with my brother and the woman in the happy couple next to me kept smiling so hard at me like we shared a secret...i wanted to pinch her! lol.. Also i want to sign up for combo hypnobirthing/prenatal classes that start at the end of the month...but i woulld be the only single person there!! Ugh.. i reeeally want the classes but i dont know how the other couple would affect me. Considering seeing if any of my friends want to go but why would they want to committ unless they're going to be at the birth with me?? Such a weird space to be in .... Anyways..feel your pain! xoxo

I feel your pain too. A couple just bought their newborn into work to show everyone. Think I have a new batch of pregnancy hormones which made it worse, but I coudnt even look at them or the baby. Just been outside for a secret cry. I'm so terrfied about going through all of this on my own. Now bump is getting bigger it seems to be making it worse somehow.

Not everyone at work knows my personal situation, I travel a lot for my job and someone asked if my partner travelled a lot too, I just said no and left it at that. But its these unexpected questions and comments that come out of the blue that really upset me. People mean well and dont know what they are saying, but sometimes it just feels like having salt rubbed in the wounds

Awe... major hugs.
It's hard but I'm just trying to take it day by day now.

 

[whoops]

A lot of my friends have just had children, and I can't help but feel jealous every time I see the pictures of both parents posted up on Facebook, or see the fathers get so excited and involved with everything. I'm fine when I'm not reminded of what I don't have.
