My bf decided to take the day off work today and hid it from me.

I’m furious. Like overly furious, to an extent that I ...
So my husband is kind of upset with me. We usually take a shower together after our daughter (who's 1y and 9m) goes to bed.

What should I do or how do I get over this...

I grew up with my mother, who was very mentally ill. One day while I was out she changed the locks and moved house, but didn't tell me. So I came home to a locked, empty house, and no idea where she had gone or where I should go. I was a teenager at the time. She has since came back into my life but our relationshi...
I have a 14 month old and I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second. My entire pregnancy has been stress and misery because I have an emotionally and verbally abusive partner.

WHY is it so freaking impossible to get anything done with toddlers and babies?? I SWEAR all I’ve done today is changed diapers, breastfed, calmed tantrums, sat by the toilet while my toddler insists that tinkle IS eventually going to come out of their body, and cooked meals. I need to pack for a trip! We’re leavin...
