This is so amazing to see, put my son to bed holding my mouth shut so he didn't hear me sobbing.

Then I sat in the living room wishing my heart would just stop beating. I hate being a mother. I love my boy but I wish with my whole heart that I could go back in time and not fall pregnant.

I can't imagine what you're dealing with here, but it breaks my heart to hear you suffering. I don't know what your personal beliefs are but I highly recommend talking to a professional. You never know how many tools and advice they can give that might at least help you not feel so miserable. No one deserves to suffer like that. You and your son's life will be better for it.

It sounds like you may need to speak to someone about how you're feeling. My heart broke when I read your post and can't imagine how heavy this must weigh on you. Good luck and sending you positive thoughts and vibes!

There are resources available for you, some free of charge. You have support and you're not alone in this.

Best advice has been given. You will be amazed at how much better you'll feel once you speak with someone. A therapist can help you sort things and put a plan of action together. You have so many choices and a new life is waiting for you.

Being a mom is hard! Some days are harder than others, for sure. You need support so that you can be the best mom to your little boy. Please reach out to your doctor - I am sure he or she can recommend a good therapist.
