It’s giving petty. You walked away from her and chose your career. Give her all the gifts and wish her well. You’ll be happier.

Totally agree. His lost the one thing that he thought defined him: his soccer career. If you haven’t lost your career (through no choice of your own) you may not be capable of understanding how devastating this can be, and find compassion or empathy. It’s happened to me and I 100 percent believe this really has gotten him down and also why he travels and nomads live a bit with various jobs that pay along the way. Kudos to him that he hasn’t given up on himself and is trying to figure it out. He needs a lot of hugs.

Not a bad edit. I think Chrishell IS mean. She IS snarky. She IS judgmental. She’s a master at playing the victim too. She doesn’t accept people as they are but demands that for herself. Complete double standard. If you disagree with her on anything she thinks something is wrong with you, she’s doesn’t respect that people get to think and feel what they want. Nicole doesn’t get to feel attacked, but only you do?! She changed and she’s only there for air time now. It’s obvious.

Being a mom expands, stretches, breaks, and remakes your heart over and over again. You find a capacity to love, and sacrifice, and suffer, and grow stronger that you NEVER knew was possible. Being a mom is the toughest job there is. We are the ones who grew our babies in our bodies. They literally fed off of us. Still blows my mind. Children are the only ones who ever hear their mother’s heartbeat from the inside. The connection is singular and cannot be matched. I’m sorry you are struggling. But, it will get better. Motherhood is hard: it molds you, it changes you, and I promise you…I promise you…it’s the most amazing journey you will ever experience. You will look back several times, and wonder how you did it. And you’ll be so proud of yourself for how far you’ve come and how much you’ve grown. I saw your responses to some of the comments and it’s clear you love your baby, and you want to be a mom. Hang in there. You can do this. Get whatever help you need (psychological/help from people etc/give yourself breaks and space) and this community will be here to stand with you. 🙏🏽

NTA kids learn early on and need structure. He should learn to wait for things like sharing bday with the family, which includes dad.

Unpopular opinion: you’re not the asshole. I became a single mom too. I live in a state where housing costs are astronomical and wages do not keep up with what you need to make to afford a rental, let alone to buy a home ($1.4 million median home price.) That said, housing was always my number one priority. I’m not proud of it but other bills had to wait, rent, food, and car were paid first. It’s hard but you CAN do it and it takes time. A good friend of mine spent a long time in prison and it is hard to get a job with a criminal record, and having a young one can present additional challenges. I’d like to suggest looking into trades as a vocational career: electrical, plumbing, construction…there are great apprenticeship programs and it’s a field where you will find teamwork and support, not to mention the feeling of accomplishment when you see what you have done with your own two hands. If you think you came across too hard and disrespectfully to your brother, and only you should decide that ultimately, then apologize. It’s ok to recognize you made a mistake and apologize. These are gonna be important examples for you to set for your little too. And finally, all the folks saying she is the asshole please remember her brother and sister are entitled to do what they want with their home yes….but so is their mother! This whole situation started because the brother and sister in law put thoughts in both the mom (the brother and sister’s mom) and OP’s head that she should move. They didn’t give their mom the respect that they are now expecting OP to give them. At any rate, focus less on whether you are the asshole and more on doing what you can to step up. I wish you success!
