I don’t feel like a person since I had my kid. I feel like all anyone cares about is the kid and they all just use me to get to the kid. I love the kid but I miss being me just being me. The father is a joke total deadbeat and sometimes I’m jealous of him, the father, because he still gets to be a person a separate person. He gets to do what he wants

Life isn’t fair. But I’m sure you already know this. Guys usually walk away from the responsibilities of caring for a baby and leave it up to the mother. The mother has the choice to raise or walk away too-even as a young parent. You chose to stay and must live with those choices.
It is important to get a break from your child. If you are with them 24/7, you may start to feel all they do is cry and complain and the father, doesn’t have to deal with any of it and you may become jealous of him and resent the child. Make sure you get time to yourself even for a few hours total a month. Get time to pamper yourself, be intimate with people, spend time with friends etc. That way you can be rejuvenated to come home and be a mom again. It’s hard but, you can do this if you try.
