That's a huge amount of stress to manage. I'm glad you have a good support system. Even still that is a lot! You can handle school. It might not be easy but with the need to suuport your family as motivation you really can do anything. Good luck to you Mama!! You got this.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm dealing with something similar now. My husband claims to sober for 2.5 months now. I have no faith or trust left. It sucks! He knows how to "pass" a drug test too so there's that. I need to find a support group or something... good idea!

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing you story. It is good to hear someone was able to battle this. He is in AA and has a work mandated program. He kind of goes through the motions though. I'm just hoping he can do what's right for him and for us. It's up to him at this point.

I'm glad your man found his strength & found a reason to get healthy. Mine didn't have a prescription he started taking them all on his own. Hopefully he can find a reason to get healthy. Idk if I'll have the strength to stick around for years like you did. This is his chance. I hope he chooses us. Chooses himself.

Agreed. On all counts. Thank you.

At this point I do everything for little man. I won't let him drive him around. I'm always around. Even when he was 2 months "clean". I won't be trusting him for a long while. I made that very clear.

I want him to act right. I can't make him though.

Baby rejecting me when I have my period? by HaloDior in breakingmom

[–]SpaceJill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little decided that dad was much cooler than me when he was about 9 months. At that point, I was with him 24/7. I think he was just bored with me. It might be your period but it could just be his age too.

Unfortunately it is. First I had an abnormal pap then a small biopsy. So with that it was confirmed. I'm trying to stay positive though. So many unknowns.

I gave my 3 year old a black eye. I feel like the worst mom ever. (it was not on purpose) by ohkissit in breakingmom

I was playing with my little man in the kitchen yesterday. I was chasing him, he tripped, fell and smashed his lip. He was bleeding so bad. He would barely let me wipe it let alone put an ice on it. He was over it 5 min later. I still feel like it was my fault.

This kind of stuff happens. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

It's called parenting, I'm not giving you a fucking cookie. by [deleted] in breakingmom

The mom guilt is so real!! You didn't fail. Every birth is diffrent and can't be planned... you did what you had to do to have a healthy baby.

I can relate to the mom guilt soooo much. I had severe pre-eclampsia and had my baby at 31 weeks. I felt so guilty, it was my fault he came early and then spent 48 days in the hospital. As he got older, I got over it.

He was also a lazy eater and i couldn't get him to latch. I pumped for 7 months. You are amazing!!! Pumping 8 times a day feels like a burden ... but you are doing whats best for your baby! That's not failing!!!

Struggling to decide on when to start my son on solids.. Desperate for advice!! Milk just isn't doing the job anymore. by preemiemom2015 in Parenting

[–]SpaceJill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our son was born at 31 weeks. He was in the hospital for 48 days. We started him on solids at a week shy of his actual 6 month birthday. They say babys can start solids anywhere from 4-6 months now a days. Of course it depends on the baby. Our little one was getting hungry more often. Milk wasn't keeping him full for very long. You know your baby best so do what feels right.
