BMom, I remember the long days with toddlers/preschoolers. I thought I would lose my mind at times. I can understand the helplessness and hopelessness of doing it all alone. This isn't the way it's suppose to be, is it? You want a partner to share the joys and burdens of raising a family. Even though my kids are older it's still tough and very lonely. I'm tired. We need someone to love and care for us so we can be the best moms that we can be. Sure, logistically we can do this alone, but two loving parents is so much better. That may be in the future, but you need help now. Can you afford to hire someone to help you at home even for a few hours a week? There may be a retired person who could use a little extra money and would love to spend time with you and the girls while also helping around the house and giving you support. Think about the type of help you need most and what's feasible so that you don't feel so alone.
