My good friend has a 3 month old and is doing it solo, her DD is calm and so sweet and she is clearly in love with her but my friend is finding motherhood a lot harder and more lonely than she was expecting (as i think most of us probably did!)
She has told me that she is struggling emotionally and physically with the relentlessness of it, I don't think she has pnd, but she has no family in this country and is just struggling with no time to herself. But I also think she would like some solidarity and shared experiences from other lone parents.
Just wondered if there was anything I could suggest to her that would help? Any good groups/podcasts etc that would make her feel less alone? We have a good close group of friends that support her well and I take her DD whenever I can to give her a break but I think for the emotional side of things she would really benefit in talking to mothers in the same boat, just wondered if anyone has any advice?
