So my son is a year and a half and his father is non existing. i'm completely new to being a mother and i was scared. i thought my family had my support until my mom started to lash out on me. i feel like i can't do anything right and they make me feel like i don't love my son. I'm doing the best i can and it's really hard for me to get another job. So now my mother and my brother are threatening to file custody of my son. I cry every night and they never make me feel any better. they make it seem like motherhood is the easiest thing ever. i feel like running away every night. i really need help!!

What are the specific reasons why your mother and brother threatens to file for custody?
who do you live with?
you can have a serious talk with your mother (hoping she's compassionate) and tell her that you feel overwhelmed with the stresses of being a single mother and life's issues.
Are you always depressed, do you ignore you child? i dont quite understand.
when my son was first born i didnt know how to put a diaper on.
i'm sorry i am a depressed person, and i will eliminate anyone out my life that's negative or who try to hurt me including family.

yes i agree, any negative person including your mother should be excluded for a least a little while, thier constant negative feeling of your not beign a good mother are leading YOU to actually believe that you arent. unless you are neglecting abusing exposign to drugs, your child im sure is happy that you are his mommy. do you part alot and leave him with your mom? that could be why she doin this too. think about how you act from someone elses view if it dnt seem bad to you than tell those ppl hurting to to get the F outta your life
