I am struggling with overwhelm and loneliness. I'm a single mom of 2 young kids. I left my abusive husband a year and a half ago. The kids still see him. He makes all our lives harder. I feel that I'll never be free from him making life harder. My son is struggling with behavior issues. He's in therapy but I'm at a loss. I don't know how to help him. I worry for his future. I feel alone without another parent to help me with him. His yelling and tantrums are bothering our neighbors (live in an apartment building). I can't talk to my husband (we are not yet divorced) bc he is unhealthy and unhelpful and anything I say to him will be used against me.

I was a stay at home mom before leaving my husband. After leaving I started a house cleaning business. I started it a month before covid hit the US and everything shut down. I'm currently working but have cancellations every week bc either I'm having to quarentine, or my kids are, or my clients are. Most recently I've been out of work for 3 weeks with Covid a mild case but that's 3 weeks without pay. I am beginning to feel like I'll never achieve financial stability.

I miss being a stay at home mom. I miss the quality time with my kids. I am so exhausted and stressed that I feel like I'm not being a very good mom. But I just can't do any more than what I'm doing. I will forever live with the worry that my husband will try to take the kids from me. That feels like a huge thing to have to live with indefinitely.

I'm lonely. I had support when I left my husband.... But I feel like everyone expects me to have it together and be good by now. No one sees how hard THIS part is- The single parenting, financial stresses, working mom, still in the middle of a messy divorce a year and a half later stress. I feel invisible. And alone. And lonely. I wish I had another adult to take to in the evenings.

@yellowCity4631

Hello and welcome to 7cups <3. I read your post and it feels that you are having a hard time right now managing all the roles. It really sounds tough. Being a single mother and dealing with issues of job and health of your son is definitely too much for anybody. You are too strong if you ask me. If you need any help or want to just vent or talk with a listener you can search them according to your topic here https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ and there any forums which you can join and find resources within https://www.7cups.com/forum/.

Take care .I hope with time situation improves for you and you can find a financial stability and you could also spend quality time with your kids.<3

Hi. I joined this site for advice on a breakup that happened so abruptly. I'm so devastated and I'm struggling on how to handle it. So much has happened over the past 2 years and I feel lost and empty. I dont know how to do this.

Welcome, Brokenn4good! 😊 Although those of us who are listeners are trained not to give advice because you're the only one who knows yourself well enough to decide what's right for you, we are all more than willing to offer a friendly ear and emotional support. I hope we can help you find the peace that you seek. ❤

Hello :-) this is my first time reaching out. I have tried to reach out to friends but feel like a bother to them and I'm not succeeding with hiding my true feelings so tend to isolate myself these days. No one likes a person who's sad all the time do they. I feel lost.

Hello!

I came to 7 cups to find people who might help me with my social anxiety, in order to develop my social skills and feel understood. I'm a little bit anxious about doing this but I'm determined to slowly expose myself to my fear and overcome it heart
