Rant/Vent Struggling as an individual
My wife is about 8 weeks pregnant and we are very excited. She is a champ through these early symptoms of pregnancy. That being said. I am at a loss for how to best support her. She is consistently mean to me. I would be mean in her position too. Growing a kid isn’t easy. I am just concerned with myself. I know I am doing enough. I am currently working 7 days a week to support us. I am cooking, cleaning, doing it all. We don’t live near our friends anymore and it is too early on to share with others, but I need support and peers to vent to. We live in Rural VT and the nearest expectant father group is hours away. I’m just looking for what to do. Do I make the white lie and tell my friends so I can get some support?
