How I’ve been feeling lately..

Hi guys! Happy 2025. I’m thankful I made it to another year.

I just had a few things I wanted to vent about.. So when my husband decided he didn’t want to be with me and work things out we all moved out of the house we own together. Me and our daughters stay with my mom and he went off to do his own thing.

Y’all I’ve been waiting for 5 months for this income based apartment to open up. 5 MONTHS! 🥲 Everyday my daughter asks “Mommy is our new home ready?” “Mommy am I going to have my own room?” “Mommy are we going to our new house today?”

Y’all… the way my heart shatters every single time she asks.. ❤️‍🩹 Our oldest is 4 all she ever knows is the house we had, her having her own room… Now we all share a room at my moms. I feel like my life and my daughters are completely flipped upside down. I’m busting my butt to come up with extra money since I’m a single income household now to make sure financially I’ll be well off with 2 kids but it makes me hate him that we even have to live this way. The way I feel he chose himself over us/me.. I hate him for that. Listening to our daughter daily asks simple questions about a life she’s always know that I feel he took from her makes me hate him. I was able to take her for a tour of our unit and my baby is over the moon. Y’all she was so happy seeing that soon enough we will have our house. My babies deserve that much & so much more in this lifetime and mommy will always figure out how to get it for them 💜🩷#lemon8diarychallenge #singlemom #healingjourney #newhome #girlmomma

... Read moreAdjusting to single parenthood, especially after a recent separation, can be incredibly challenging. Many single parents find themselves navigating difficult emotions, from loneliness to financial stress. In an age where social connectivity is crucial, exploring platforms for support can provide immense relief. Searching for tips on managing stress, budgeting as a single parent, and finding local resources can help ease the transition. It's also important to talk to others in similar situations—consider joining parenting groups or online forums where sharing experiences can foster healing. Ensuring your children feel safe and loved during this transition is vital; creating stable routines or simple bonding activities can significantly benefit their mental health. For those in search of housing assistance, research local programs proud to help single-parent households find affordable and decent housing. Additionally, establishing a support network, whether through friends, family, or online communities, can bring encouragement during these times. Remember, the journey might be tough, but seeking help and staying connected can lead to emotional and practical breakthroughs.

1. Stop forcing what isn’t aligned God will never require you to beg for what’s meant for you. If you’re forcing it, stressing over it, or trying to hold it together by yourself… it’s probably not from Him. Alignment feels peaceful, not draining. 2. Peace is a decision Peace doesn’t magically
