My Ex Turned My 7-Year-Old Against Me in Custody War 💔

Last spring, my world shattered when my ex took our kids and never brought them back. What started as a normal visit became a year-long legal nightmare that's still tearing my heart apart 😢 My sweet 7-year-old son now calls me by my first name instead of 'Mom.' He won't even let my own mother be 'Grandma' anymore. My little 3-year-old daughter just started saying 'Mama' again after months of silence. The court-appointed guardian suspects parental alienation, but my ex keeps fighting for full custody while I'm desperately asking for shared time. I've been battling my own mental health demons through this whole ordeal, but I'm getting the support I need. Still, I'm terrified the court might side with him completely. Have you ever felt like you're fighting an impossible battle for your children's love? I could really use some hope right now 💕 #CustodyBattle #ParentalAlienation #SingleMom #FamilyRelationships

My Baby Daddy Calls Me Names for What He Did Too 😢💔

Eight years with him, and I'm finally done. Last week, I had to ask Jake to pack his bags after another screaming match in front of our one-year-old daughter, Emma. 😔 It's always the same cycle - he'll yell, call me horrible names, then act like nothing happened for weeks. When we broke up three years ago, we were apart for eight months. We both dated other people during that time. I was honest about my two relationships when he asked. 💭 But here's the kicker - he can't even count how many women he was with, yet he still calls me a slut for moving on during OUR BREAK. Even sent flirty texts to one of them after we got back together! The audacity is unreal. 😤 Now I'm sitting here, wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Emma deserves better than watching her parents tear each other apart. The hole in my heart feels massive, but I know this toxic cycle has to end. Have you ever felt trapped between protecting your child and missing someone who hurt you? I could really use some advice right now. 💕 #toxicrelationships #singlemom #coparenting #FamilyRelationships

My Best Friend Shamed My Pregnancy, Now She's Pregnant Too! 😤

Ladies, I need your honest thoughts on this messy situation! 😩 When I got pregnant at 26 after dating my ex for just 11 months, my best friend of 10+ years was beyond unsupportive. She kept saying "you haven't been with him long enough" and "why do you want a baby now?" Her negativity crushed me during what should've been a joyful time. 💔 Fast forward - I'm now a single mom to my precious 11-month-old after leaving an abusive relationship. Guess what? My "best friend" just announced she's pregnant... after dating her new guy for only 7 months! The irony is unreal! 🤯 Now she expects my full support, but I honestly can't fake enthusiasm after how she treated me. We haven't spoken in days, and her first scan is coming up. Part of me feels guilty, but another part feels like she showed her true colors when I needed her most. Am I wrong for not being the supportive friend she wants? Have any of you dealt with fake friends during major life changes? I could really use some outside perspective right now! 💭 #FakeFriends #SingleMom #Pregnancy #FamilyRelationships

My Baby Daddy Moved On While I'm Still Broken 💔😭

Five months ago, my world crumbled when Jake walked out on me and our 10-week-old son. His reason? "I'm just not happy anymore." 😢 Can you believe that? I became a single mom overnight in our little apartment in Denver, trying to figure out how to juggle everything alone. Now I'm stuck in this nightmare of co-parenting with the man I'm still madly in love with. Every Tuesday when he picks up our son, my heart breaks all over again. 💔 We used to break up and make up all the time, so I kept hoping we'd find our way back to each other. But last night shattered that dream completely. I found out he slept with someone new. 😭 Even though I knew this day would come, it feels like a knife through my chest. How am I supposed to move on when I have to see him every week? Ladies, I'm desperate here. How do you get over someone when you can't cut them out of your life? I need your wisdom and support right now. 🙏 #SingleMom #CoParenting #Heartbreak #FamilyRelationships

My 2-Year-Old Is Away and I'm Falling Apart 💔😭

I never thought I'd be this mom, but here I am, crying into my coffee at 7 AM because Kaylee isn't here asking for her morning cartoons 😢 She's been with her dad for three days now - their first real vacation together. I should be happy, right? She's bonding with him, having fun at the beach. But instead, I'm checking my phone every five minutes, wondering if she's eating enough, if she misses me, if she's okay 💔 For two years, it's been just us. Every bedtime story, every scraped knee, every giggle - we've been a team. Now the house feels so empty and quiet, I can barely stand it. I know I'm being dramatic, but did anyone else feel like their heart was literally ripped out the first time their little one went away? How do you cope with this feeling? I need to hear I'm not crazy 😭 #ParentingStruggles #SeparationAnxiety #SingleMom #FamilyRelationships

My Ex Had a Secret Child Older Than Ours - Now He Wants Me Back 😤

Picture this: your husband of years drops a bombshell - he cheated and there's a secret child who's actually older than your own kid together. That was my reality in 2019 when everything fell apart. 💔 For two years, I endured his lies and emotional abuse. He'd say things like "nobody will want you with three kids" while I raised our children alone during his work trips. The manipulation was suffocating. When I finally found the strength to leave, he started harassing me, tracking my car, and sending people to check on me. Even got the police involved! 😱 Now I'm dealing with health issues, and guess what? He shows up begging for forgiveness, then flies off to post vacation pics with his new girlfriend the next day. I'm done being his backup plan. Time to rebuild my life without this toxic mess. Have you ever felt trapped by someone who claimed to love you? 💪 #ToxicRelationships #SingleMom #MovingOn #FamilyRelationships

My Baby's Dad Does Coke - Should I Leave Him? 😢💔

I'm sitting here at 2 AM, holding my 12-week-old baby girl, and my heart is completely shattered 💔 My boyfriend didn't come home Friday night - again. When he finally showed up Saturday morning, I could tell he'd been doing cocaine with his buddies downtown. We had the biggest fight of our relationship. I told him I can't have drugs around our baby, and he just packed his bags and went to his mom's place across town 😭 The worst part? When I asked if he'd quit, he looked me straight in the eye and said he'd "probably do it again." Now I'm here alone with our daughter, torn between loving the man I thought I knew and protecting my baby girl. Part of me wants to call him and beg him to come home, but how can I trust someone who chooses cocaine over his own family? 😰 Have any of you been in a similar situation? I feel so lost and could really use some advice from people who understand 💕 #singlemom #relationshipproblems #drugaddiction #FamilyRelationships

He Left Me Pregnant—Now He Wants the Baby?! 😱💔

One rainy morning in our small Chicago apartment, my life flipped upside down. My husband left me when I was 24 weeks pregnant with our second child, saying he "needed space." I was suddenly alone, juggling a toddler and a newborn, feeling like I was drowning in loneliness and exhaustion. Now, out of nowhere, he wants to play the perfect dad—but only to our baby. He ignores me completely, acting like I’m just the babysitter, and even insists I stop breastfeeding so he can take the baby whenever he pleases. It’s like I don’t even exist to him anymore, and I’m torn between protecting my daughter and not letting him dictate my life. With no family nearby and just a couple of friends to lean on, I feel lost and overwhelmed. Has anyone else tried to co-parent with someone who treats you like you’re invisible? How did you handle the stress and constant demands? I’d love to hear your stories or advice—I really need a friend right now. 💬 #coparenting #singlemom #familystruggles #FamilyRelationships

Is This What Co-Parenting Is Supposed to Be?! 😩

Ever since my ex and I split up while I was pregnant, my world has been a whirlwind of stress and sleepless nights. Our daughter is almost two now, and people keep telling me, "Just give it time, it gets easier." But how am I supposed to relax when her dad barely makes an effort to be in her life? We tried to make things work after she was born, but he insisted on taking her every weekend—even when she was just a newborn and I was still breastfeeding. We went through mediation and set a schedule, but he never sticks to it. Most weeks, he only shows up for a couple of hours on Saturday, never asks about her health (even though she’s had some medical scares), and sometimes vanishes for weeks at a time. What keeps me up at night is the fear that one day he’ll suddenly demand overnight visits, even though he barely knows her. Am I wrong for wanting him to be more present and consistent before I agree to that? Or is this just what co-parenting looks like now? If you’ve ever felt stuck in a situation like this, please share your story. Maybe we’re not as alone as we feel. 🫶 #coparenting #singlemom #familystruggles #FamilyRelationships
