Hey, just hoping someone can relate. Just posting on here. I have 2 children 6+10 months and my partner passed away in may 2024. I feel like there is a massive stigma on single parenting and i have become so angry with the world since his death, i am trying to balance everything i have put so much weight on and trying to save to drive i have a handfull of friends but no one i can trust. my mum and my step dad help alot and my family live up north. i also have a lazy husky who i love but is not the most cuddlest but great with my children. i have so much work to do and im getting so overwhelmed with everything :( My daughter is doing well at school but keeps going to hit me and getting angry since partner died, she has a different dad who she doent see as of his past and i am trying to sympathize with her and explain that exploring her emotions is good but not smacking. ive had social services involved due to my mental health in the past when i was very poorly pregnant with her and they was involved for 3 years. my health is stable and so much better than the past with my eldest. i just dont know what to say to her anymore the more i try to explain the more i seem to confuse her and she doesnt listen. its the general stuff she doesnt have any problems but i just feel like such a shit mum right now
