Motherhood is the loneliest
Has anyone experienced feeling really disconnected? I love the life I have and love my children more than anything but I can’t seem to find myself anymore. “Me time” doesn’t feel like me time. It’s usually rushed and involves taking a shower you know basic hygiene things. My husband doesn’t understand. I don’t even try to help him understand it’s a lost cause. I spend time with friends and have to bring my kids with me but even if it was just me I know I have no ability to connect with people anymore. I feel like I’m only allowed to have mom friends. I can’t make mom friends because it’s too difficult to connect to others and being social is very difficult for me. All I do is take care of the kids. I wake up care for them then go to bed when they go to bed. I don’t really feel like I have opportunity to be myself anymore. Even when I’m surrounded by friends my children and other people, I feel so incredibly lonely.
