Just recently I have entered single motherhood about 2 months ago. My sons father has done nothing but party during my sons first year of life and has done nothing to step up and be a dad. So I finally kicked him out. My son is 14 months old and has been a terror this last week. He won't sleep, he won't eat and all he does is cry. I pick him up from daycare and try to give him dinner. All he does is throw the food at me and have a complete meltdown. So I try to put him to bed. It takes almost 2 hours to get him to sleep. During these 2 hours all he does is cry. He will sleep for a little and the. He is up every hour crying. This morning he had a complete meltdown again. He got only like 6 hours of sleep. He hits me, scratches me, gouges my eyes out. He was such a good baby his first year. Never had any problems. Now he is a complete nightmare. I am starting to slowly lose my mind. I havent had a good night sleep in over a month, I can't take care of myself, I have sounding headache. I feel like I am detoriating as person. I have tried it all. Medicine, ignoring his tantrums, re-direct. Nothing is working. I have even called his dad begging him to just take him for a night so I can get a break. He won't do shit for me. I cry everyday. They never thought I could have kids. My son is a miracle baby. I love him to death but I am really questioning whether I am meant to be a mom. I really dont think I can raise him on my own. I find my self getting so frustrated that I started yelling at him. Which I know only makes matters worse. I have no one to help me. There are days I feel like I am going to have to give my son up. Which is something I would never want. My heart is just breaking cause I am failing terribly. I couldn't keep my family together and I am failing every second in this single mom life. I need help. I don't know what to do anymore but I really feel like I am losing my mind. I just feel like running away at times. 😢Moms...any moms single, stay at home, frustrated mommies. What do you do when you get like this? How do you make it better? How do you get through these periods without losing your patcience? This not me and I feel like I am losing complete control. Please help with any advice. This has to change fast. I cant do this anymore.
