I can feel your justified anger thru the phone screen. What an awful situation. My biggest struggle is not having the ability to control someone else’s actions when it comes to my baby girl. The momma bear comes out in us and that’s ok to feel that anger and hatred. Sending you some hugs from one loving protective mom to another.

Struggling with self forgiveness. I have done so much shit in my active addiction. Family court is coming up. My ex hasn’t paid child support for our three children consistently ever. Nor does he help with anything. I know it has to be done. I’m afraid of his reaction. But I’m doing it for my children.

Hey Kelly
I can relate. My ex doesn’t spend anytime with our three children. If he does come for a visit he sleeps in my youngest bed all day. Like wtf. I’m in the process of going through family court for the 5th time. I always withdraw or he doesn’t reap to my lawyers mediation requests. So at this point we are heading straight to court. He’s even said he will stop working just some spent have to pay child support. Although he isn’t working now. God bless our children.

That utterly sucks!!! The children have us though…hold on to that, we can only control what we do and we do a great job dispite the arsehole fathers, talk and vent on here as much as you want if it helps. Sending lots of love and hugs your way

Im sorry your going through this 
this is my biggest fear with having children. I stopped trying this year because of the problems we are going through. Most likely were going to separate…

Later that day i say to myself…fuck the ex…the situation is unfair but actually the silver linings are abundant…this beautiful little girl of mine who is my absolute world is the most kind, intelligent, thoughtful and amazing little creature ive ever had the priveledge to know let alone be able to call my daughter…even better than that…i can say that she is partly who she is today because of mine and my only care, nurturing and hard work. He makes no effort it is truly his loss because we are great and she is amazing 
i will lift my herbal tea to that!!!

I’m in your corner! Summer can 
Give me the cool crisp air any day. 
Maybe it’s my Norwegian heritage, but summer is my seasonal depression. 
What’s your preferred month where you are now?

My vent: it only 1pm here and my husband is on his 6th drink. Wtf!
I keep track of his drinking so I know when to stop engaging with him. This means he’s checked out for the rest of the day and I’m on full duty. I have a 2 hour errand to run, looks like I’m taking the kids with me.

@FullaFarts you made me laugh with your comments about hot weather. Here in Spain Summer is hard -living -through.
But winter time is harder for me since I caught a lot of colds

Ugh I feel for you.
I was doing this with my partner for a while.
Now I just leave the house entirely.
I’m staying with my brother tonight because my partner is watching football and drinking.
Nope. Nooo thank you!
I wish you a peaceful night 🩷
Stay strong 
What’s this ‘football’ thing y’all speak of?
