Your relationship with your friend will warm back up once they are settled in their new relationship. Its a normal up and down.
You may not be the mother you want to be but really, how often do we archive what we have in that ideal mental image? Be the mother you can be. Try. Kids notice and remember that shit later. Remember that later may not be until shes the age you are now and has life experience under her belt to relate to.
My OB told me that aches in breast can be fibroids that really don't cause any problems except the soreness. He said that caffeine is shown to make the aching worsen. :( I am glad you are getting them checked though. Always good to make sure.
Being a single mom is the roughest gig I know. I always felt like I was letting someone down. Massively. You all would always jump in and tell me I wasn't, that I was doing the best I could in the circumstances. And so I give these words back to you.
And the same applies to you #5. Just remember that while you are busy looking out for everyone else's kids in the classroom, Karma is still your #1 kid.
Having a father that.liked me well enough but did not mind telling me hat he would have preferred not to have me has tinted my opinions on this whole family thing.
I don't know why you assume that you are not able to be enough as a single parent. Sure her dad likes her and that tints things. Two parents does not automatically make it better or easier.
I possessed an undercurrent of fear of my fat&er and bitterness. Its never gone away. Even after his death handling his estate just.verified it.
Don't assume that divorce and single parenthood is somehow an automatic loss for the kid.
#1 I hope things work out between you so you have that connection again. All of my "friends" seem to have abandoned me either for relationships, jobs, or just distance making it hard to keep in contact. I long for the feelings I had at one time when I could just call up a friend and get away for awhile.
#2 You are beautiful. <3 I know you know it. I am working on this too, my blog has lot of happies and positive thoughts and tips and links to recipes and workouts and those types of things. It is LosingJenn.tumblr.com
