    I have 4 kids - ages 33 to 21... and I never wanted to be a mom. I resent my ex husband (divorced 15 years ago)... and I resent my kids for being so much like him. I just hate being a mom. I wish I was alone literally ALL THE TIME. If I could go back in time and NOT be a mom... I would.

    My grandparents were the rudest and the most deceptive set of people I have ever met. They hated the fact that my mum was pregnant with me. They favoured my half brother because he was born from sperm provided by his father, Leonard, a fellow farmer like them. Also, they controlled my mum behind her back by making sure we were evicted over and over because they felt a box under a bridge was too much housing for us. They were also fellow landlords for a long time and knew landlord talk, so that way they could convince a box of cornflakes that our stomachs were not worthy of the cereal. The maternal grandmother would be kind one moment (like a shopping trip) and then vindictive the next moment when she would feel regret for taking me on a shopping trip. Mum was always financially strapped so any help was naturally thanked by anyone who could help and mum was just as flabbergasted as I was when we would face eviction by our latest crummy landlord at that time. She is still trying to do this today as a widow by having others do it for her, as she is approaching 100 years old. The latest that this awful woman is trying to do, is trying to get her trying to get my mum into financial trouble because she knows someone who knows my mum's bank account information as she is a bank employee. Thank you for posting this video.

    My son just turned a year old a few days ago. I hate my life. It feels like I live in hell. I had to have an emergency c section and it ruined my body. I have adhesions inside that will never go away and feel tugging whenever I move. I have done massage extensively on my scar and abdomen but it no longer does anything. My abs will never come back together because I have scar tissue holding them apart. I have worked on strengthening my core but it never gets better. So I have to carry my son around all through the day and it feels like my insides are bulging out the entire time. My back also hurts because of this. I’m the thinnest I’ve ever been but I still have a gut because of my messed up scar tissue and permanent diastasis. He cries and screams at the top of his lungs constantly. My ears hurt from all the screaming. I feel terrible because I am so miserable all the time I find it hard to smile at him. I cry all the time. I feel like I’m screwing him up because I can’t be happy and silly and play with him because I am so miserable constantly. I fantasize about killing myself every day. My husband works hard and pays for everything, and takes care of the baby when he gets home but he still needs breaks here and there too so I still have to help. My family doesn’t help watch him. His family lives far away. I want to give up my rights to my son but I love my husband and don’t want to separate from him. Even if I were to leave my husband and give him full rights to my son I would still never be free because I would know he was out there with a mom that didn’t care to be in his life. I feel the only escape is in death. Every night I fall asleep to the thought of killing myself and ending this nightmare. I was never meant to be a mom. My son deserves better. I hate myself.

    I don’t know what happened to my mother and what traumas she experienced when she was young but my Abuelita her mother was exactly that grandma that was the ideal, loving, nurturing, non judgemental, loved playing board games, connecting and very affectionate and generous. My mother on the other hand is a malignant covert narcissist and I lived under the tyranny of her passive aggressive forms of punishment daily. She provoked me until I would react with rage and fury and then she would shame me and send me to my room to go look at myself in the mirror. I was a glorified pet until about the age of 6-7 and after that I became the target of all her contempt, hatred and she loved to watch me suffer to the point where I would become completely non functioning and battling clinical depression. She’s tried to push me to the brink of death but I somehow managed to pull through in the nic of time after months and months of battling severe treatment resistant mental illness and active SI. She’s truly evil and has no qualms at all about her malicious and vindictive ways against me. There’s so much more but this grandma also managed to poison my son against me and now I’m trying to carefully draw him back but he feels stuck now in the middle and knows if he shows me any loyalty he will also have to contend with her ruthless forms of covert punishment so he’s chosen to align himself with her for now. It’s awful and heart shattering to experience parental alienation at the hands of your own mother.

    I am child-free because as an observant child, I saw the miserable life my mother was living, taking care of three children, a husband, and a house, cooking three meals a day, never having a moment of free time, no vacations, not even any new clothes, no money, being under my father‘s thumb financially. Nope. Not for me. and now that I am 72 years old, my 94-year-mother considers that I made a poor choice in life by not having children. Personally, I think she’s just resentful and jealous. thanks for the perspective. Good luck to you.

    It helps to know other Moms out there are hating this… for me it depends on the day. Today I hate it. But happiness is a choice, and I figure I can either reject and hate it, or embrace and at the very least get by kind of ok. Lol. I quit drinking and that helped a ton. That lead to more energy and less conflict/abuse in the marriage and that’s also helped. My dreams did die with having kids, and they have me picking up after them constantly, so it’s hard to not resent them sometimes, but, there is beauty in it. And i know one day freedom will return. I think we need to remember there are two sides to absolutely everything, and we need to be able to see both. And we need others to see that, too, and give us a freaking hand once in a while. Stick together, Moms!!
