I am recently divorced and have a beautiful babygirl who is 2. I was married for 4 years but we dated for 7 years. He was verbally, Mentally & emotionally abusive for the 7 years. Eventually I ended up having a nervous breakdown last year november (at 25 yrs old) i was in a clinic, while in there is when i decided to get divorced. Once I got out i had no where to go as I had quit my job to move with him to mozambique for his new job, suddenly i found myself without money or a place to stay, i tried my aunts but we were not comfortable there, then we eventually settled with my brother in a tiny room in his townhouse where we had no where to move & my daughter & I shared a bed (my ex husband would not allow me to stay in our townhouse as he wanted it as part of the divorce settlement). I was very lucky that my old company got word of my situation & immediately offered my job back. I had to still stay with my brother for a bit then my best friens mother offered that my daughter and i go stay there at their house they have 6 bedrooms and we would have our own space and 2 maids and food cooked daily for us and we could come and go as we pleased. Since we have done that my daughter has gone back to her normal self again and we both really feel at home. But i think sometimes to myself that i'm a failure because a mom should be able to provide a home for het children. i can afford it, its just tat i think that my daughter needs the structure and i need the support as my mom lives in another city. I would just like some tips on how to be a good mom because i feel like i am failing.... ↓
