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....

You have not failed. You are extremely brave. Most women motherly insticts come naturally. And you see to be one of those women. It was agreat thing you did getting those kids out of there.

Well ,You are very brave ! My suggestion : find a father for your child . You know ,child without dad just like flower without spring. As I know singleparentloving.com is a good place .

Stay positive and focused on your child. You will find the strength. Use the net to find others in similar situations.

We all need comfort and stabilty at a time like this in our lives. Stay there as long as you need to and when you are ready to move out on your own do it. As long as those people are still in your daughter's live and yours you will be okay. Just be a good mom and love your daughter, that is all she needs.

I know exactly how you fell. My ex partner took all the furniture when we broke up, so i have no fridge or washing machine or lounge suite. i hand wash all my clothes and am embarrassed that i cannot provide my children with the comfort of a real home. im with you on that one. i dont even have a t.v. i have an illness that stopps me from working, so i struggle on a benefit and it sux. take care and be strong
