i got pregnant, got married, gave birth, and now my daughter is almost 3 years old and it's becoming even more scary for me as she grows older. everything was unplanned and it happened so fast so i really wasn't ready. i'm afraid for her. i'm afraid that i won't be a good mom to her and she'll end up like me, which i don't want to happen to her. it's just that sometimes i lose it and just want to give up and leave my family. thankfully, my husband is strong and no matter what i do, never gives up on me and is very patient with me. anybody here who also feels the same sometimes? like, you just want to run away from everything...

When I got pregnant,all I do is cry.Because I didn't tell anyone.When the news finally came out,I am really surprise to see that there are so many people who supports me.Now,my baby is one year old and yes,I am still scared.Because sooner or later,she'll be asking questions.I think all we can do now is make it right with our baby so that she/he won't end up making the same mistake like we did.

I think nobody is born knowing how to be a great mum. It is a daily learning process. Sure, I've wanted to just get away from everything sometimes too.....Maybe you should take a break now and then to destress and you'll feel better,hopefully :)

I think that is a natural feeling that alot of moms get. Being a mom is a hard job. My pregnancy was also unexpected but I wouldnt change it for the world. My mom used to joke with me and my sisters growing up saying that sometimes she felt like running away. Don't worry alot of moms feel like this. Just remember that you have to be strong for your little girl.
