Co parenting

I co parent! And as much as I miss my little it gives me time to still be me. I love my kiddo to death but it’s also nice to take a breather and relax and be lizzy and not only be mom full time. I’m not sure if that make sense. In the beginning it was hard and I felt like a piece of me was missing but now that’s it’s been a year of co parenting it’s gotten so much easier. I’m able to enjoy my hobbies and find new hobbies. I’m able to recharge before I get my son back and I’m a better mom when I have him because of it. I’m new to this app but please reach out to me if you want to girl

I do and feel the same. It’s super painful!

We just started :/

It’s so hard he’s only 5 months I feel awful for this happening and he’s still so small

It’s tough regardless of age I’m sorry mommas. Keep your head up I hope it gets better soon

I was just telling my husband today how I need fucking therapy or something to help deal with this shit. I've had split custody of my oldest with my ex for 5 years now. It is the hardest shit I've ever done. I don't know how people are cool with it. It would suck bad enough if you got along with the ex.... but then like in situations like mine where we do not get along and it's just ugly makes it SO MUCH worse. It's so so so hard. Hang in there. You aren't alone with how you are feeling. ❤️

I am. It's hard, especially if your little one is attached to you and not the other parent. The first month or two I was lost. Because I had a day off of being a mom. But as time goes on you'll start rediscovering yourself. But in being able to step out of that role for a day or two, you'll start becoming a better version of you. I know when my son comes back we cuddle, play games, take a nap together and he loves it. Because mommy is recharged and not overly stimulated. It's okay to feel what you feel. Allow yourself to go through the emotions. Remember it is okay to not be okay. In time it won't be as painful. It'll get better.

Idk if I’ll ever get over it right now he doesn’t stay over night with his dad but he’s talking about starting to have him overnight and I don’t think I can take not having him next to me

I understand. I felt the same way since my son has been next to me since he was born. Even as I'm typing this he is snoring right next to me. He only stays with his dad one day for overnight visit. Because my son will stay up until 3am to not go to sleep. Luckily my ex lives with his mom and sisters so my son will go sleep with one of them but still won't sleep until past midnight. That's why the next day he ends up taking a 3hr nap with me
