Dear Hopeless Mom (Hope for Mom series)

Dear Hopeless Mom, I want you to know you aren’t alone.

I created a series of posts for the mom who feels alone and on her last leg.  When giving up cannot be an option (because we don’t actually want to do that) this series is the place of revival.

HOPE FOR MOM SERIES

Dear Hopeless Mom (this is where you are)

Hope for Mom

Moms Give Hope

Hope Inspiration

We all get pushed down by life, pressed to our emotional or mental limits, then hopelessness starts to consume. It seems like things won’t change and hopelessness turns into bitterness or sadness. Perhaps you even become apathetic or detached from your loved ones because all seems lost. The hard thing is, it could be your loved ones that are causing all this turmoil in your heart.

Being mom is hugely challenging! I know you have your days, hours… even minutes of exasperation.

It’s ok mom, to break down and cry.

It’s okay to take a break from cooking, just popping something in the microwave doesn’t make you an awful person (no matter what anyone else says).

There are times when we may even wish, *gasp*, we weren’t moms. You wouldn’t be the first to think it. It’s okay, it’s a passing thought because of the frustrating moments. We all know you love your kids, your husband.

You are just tired.

You are just confused.

You are just unsure of how to attack the problems you are encountering. And that’s normal, but you can’t stay there either.

Don’t allow your emotions to continue to pull you in directions that you don’t want to go. Now that’s easier said than done, for sure. This is where the lesson comes in and it’s a hard one to swallow. I’ll try to be gentle with you friend.

As hopeless as you feel, there IS hope, there is a chance for change.

I know, you are saying BUT

• He doesn’t listen no matter what I do
• My husband doesn’t help me and he doesn’t listen
• We haven’t enough money or time to be the parents we want to be
• I just want to stay home
• I just want to go to work!
• The baby cries all the time and I just can’t take it anymore
• The constant medical bills, care and prayer for my child is exhausting
• This situation has been going on for years and …

and you feel hopeless.

But even in your desperation and the reality you are facing (and it is a reality) you do have something to be joyful over. Something that many would trade ALL of your reality to have. Even if the problem is your husband, your finances, your health or your child you still have something that gives you joy and you can find joy in.

You still have that child with you.

I agree, it’s not always (maybe very few times) in the way we want. The circumstances are not ideal. Your child may not be the ideal child. But frankly, you may not be your child’s ideal either (although we know they see you as a shining star, a beautiful butterfly, just right in their eyes).

Don’t be hopeless – You have your life, and your child’s life. Mom, there is chance for change.

If you are still alive there is hope!

Every single one of your situations that drive you to hopelessness is covered by God’s loving hand. He sees you and wants you to know that He is there.

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Life can change, Life does change. But hold on to the ones that have made the most change in your life and will continue doing so. They need you.
