I'm a terrible mom, the guilt I feel this morning

I ve had a bad year... But today just made it even worser. For 21yrs I've been the decorater, the cook and go to work all on my own for all 4 of my children. I made sure under the🌲 was always filled. But this year the look on my son's face when he came downstairs this morning I will never forget.. I didn't get anything because every year I scrape money I don't have and I'm just soooo tired. I'm already having mental breakdowns ppl think I'm crazy at this point. I really just wanna give up but if I do my kids will have nobody and none of their dads care they don't even try.

You are absolutely not a bad mother 💚

Youve carried it all.

And it can be scary.

Lonely.

Relentless.

It's ok to feel tired.

Your feelings matter too.

Yes, your kids do need you but more importantly, they love you 💚

You are absolutely not a bad mother.

You are always there.

You've done it for so long alone.

And it's isolating, and tough, and relentless and scary.

Your feelings matter too.

You are doing your best.

Your kids do need you , but more importantly, they love you 💚
