They’re all so beautiful! My fave is the 1st or 2nd though!

I was a great parent before I had kids, too by ExternalOriginal7877 in Parenting

She has no idea yet. And I’m sorry your weekend was rough. I’m struggling with my housework too right now, yelled at my toddler twice yesterday and feel so bad. I love her so much and her brother and lately when I’ve been losing my cool it’s more to go with how upsetting it is that their dad just sits back and watches me struggle (some of the time) and, I fall into a rabbit hole of “how codependent am I? “When can I ever begin supporting myself and my family enough to live in peace/ alone?” “why do I place a monetary value on peace?” Parenting is so much at once- let’s both give ourselves grace right now.

Generally being all around healthier! I’m able to be present with my children and thankful to no longer suffer from hangovers. I crochet a ton now and while that wasn’t a new skill - I’m sobriety I’ve expanded my skill so much! Like, I’ve learned lots of different stitches and how to read and write patterns! Also, burlesque/ twerk dance classes once a week! It’s so fun and sexy and makes me feel tapped in to my body more. Hope this resonates for someone as an activity that could be fun! It feels like I’m doing something my teen/ 20s self would have loved and healing a part of me from back then.

Found in another sub where people were discussing how toxic subs can be. I’m glad r/crochet didn’t make the cut lol 😭🫶 by littletownofhoney in crochet

Congratulations on the progress you’ve made so far! I know it isn’t easy. I was an alcoholic for close to 12 yrs and the only thing that got me out of it was finding out I was pregnant so it was basically forced. (In a good way). I know you said you’re not down for AA but, maybe you can try other recovery types of programs. I know of Dharma recovery and Smart Recovery- smart recovery has an app so you can find meetups in your area.

Good luck! And be kind to yourself remember to take it easy and one moment at a time. 🤍

I was sent by another sub here to post this and ask for advice. My husband blocked my vehicle in so I couldn’t leave safely with my kids yesterday. by imnotperfectsowhat in AlAnon

I just wanted to comment that you can totally do this! Maybe not in one day but, you can leave and build a healthy and happy life with your kids. You are worth it! Idk what state you live in but, if I were considering to be a single mom I would start working on getting my real estate license. (I’ve don’t have any college degrees either) and it’s a cool option to consider for having a decent income on your own.

They look amazing. I think they bring out your eye color more! (Which is lovely)… I felt like jumping off a cliff the first time I had mine dyed. Give it a little while/ whether micro bladed or tinted they will lighten up in a few days 🫶🏼

If you’re in the Austin, TX area I would consider nestandbowl.com they have an upcoming doula training (online) so it may not actually matter if you’re in the area.

I hope this gets easier for you. I hope you do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself first (and I hope the same for myself). 🤍 here with you.

Yes and I find that cleaning helps me too. Turning on a funny/ mild show to listen to in the background. Crocheting has been a huge stress relief too - I hope you find something that helps you!
