any one out there

My baby is 7 months old I live 6 hours away from any family or friends. I'm feeling like a captive in my own home and my baby is becoming the enemy is there anyone who can sympathize?

Welcome to my world. All I can say is it gets easier with time. Are you married? If so it sounds like you need a little more support and help from hubby. I've been there, and totally get it. If you need to talk, ask for advice, or just rant this is a great place to do so.

Cay is right - it gets easier and better very soon. I bet most of us on this board can relate to your feelings of being alone and resentment towards baby. Best bet would be to post on the "Mom to Mom" board so you are heard by more of us.

Do you get out with the baby very much? It helped me a lot just to get out and walk, feel the sun on my face, feel more confident in being a mom, get baby out and tuckered, etc.

Its hard to see it now, but very soon your baby is going to start walking and talking. While that adds more problems than you can imagine, it also really starts to make things fun! When your little one starts communicating with you, starts playing with you, starts showing a little person personality, and starts becoming your favorite person in the world, you will find a fulfillment you can't imagine.

Keep posting - there are lots of us on here that can relate to just about anything, and are more than happy to be a 'virtual' friend for you to vent at or bounce ideas off of.
