Life changes a lot. From the moment, I lost my mother to the day when I became a mother myself, life has come across two horizons. Suddenly I find nobody offering to cover me in her lap, rather it is me who need to take care of my husband and child both. Even my husband behaves childish. I am feeling a crisis right now. I am alone, devastated and need his support right now. What should I do?

uknow what???? u just need to love to be a mother... its about caring and loving unednlessly.. yeah we are always tired for the 24/7 job as a mother for the whole family, even ur husband.. but its just mothers are! maybe u have to talk to ur husband for a break.. :) getting too tired.. needs space.. and give urself a treat for being a mother for all of them, or how about having a date night just for a day per week.. will that cheer u up?? id say u look for soething that will make u feel good about urself and do it, maybe its time for u to give time for urself... hey i hope i gave u good choices... coz i am a mother too.. and i dont want to feel that bad :) i hope u learn to live life to the fullest and appreciate things in a differnet view.. :) have a hpaay life

Awe, I feel you so much on this right now. My mother is still here, but we have never been close and I can not and could not ever really count on her to comfort me. I have a husband and four children. I am the main provider in everything in our home. In think that it is the general issue at hand right now with many women, in their personal situations. I feel isolated as far as support for my personal self right now. Life is very selfish and will take everything out of you. I made it a point to comfort and pamper myself through my hobbies and little things, such as polishing my nails, painting, drawing, and creating things that I delight in. Creating a wholeness inside. You have to take this into your hands and beging to nurture the womand and child that you are. Your husband will be who he is, you have to cultivate and nurture yourself without the expectation that anyone else in this world will do it for you. Try taking walks and enjoying nature. Find that place inside that comforts you. I am sending you a great big hug so embrace yourself and love the you that your mom loved and nurtured while she was here. I hope you feel better very very soon hun.
