Hate being a mom full time and all my inner me

I love my baby, he is just 7 months old. But some time like know I fill that I am not good mom, and that is because I don’t like to be.
I really miss my life my time, and my body.
My husband is so good, these days, I think he still feel guilty because he cheated on me two years ago. Well, and I have to admit, I can’t forget neither forgive yet.
We moved to USA exactly a month after I found out his affair and all his cruel mind games he played on me.
Any way, I decided to continue our plan to came to USA so he can study a master, eventually go back to Mexico.
He found a job in USA, so we have stayed here, for now.
But I feel so bad, about all:

+I miss my self-esteem because I allowed to cheated on me and continue together. I have to confess: he is the must amaizing man I have ever met. JUST PERFECT (just a hair in the soup)
+I have troubles with my english proficiency and I cant make new friends, in this new city I moved to.
+The baby is not helping, keeping me busy 24/7. He still waking every 2 hrs during the day.
+I can’t work, visa issues, so I feel so unproductive
+I hate the house chores, I miss my mexican maid
+I don’t have energy to change my negative energy to get out of this black deep hole.
+I am so obsessive trying to be perfect mom, it just frustrated me. I set my goals to high.
+Hate my stretch marks and extra pounds (accumulated all in my wrist)happy
+Constantly afraid to lose my husband this time for good.

= I feel useless, stupid, frustrated, negative, fat, ugly, low respect for myself.

I am so afraid of all this that I change for a family with my cheating husband would end in what I see eminent in the long term. He, again, with a young beautiful perfect girl happy forever. And me with non economical support, no friends, no family around, no career, no life, a son with his own life.

Oh my god, this is the first time I visit this web. I saw some post and wonder how people write so long. Now I started to write and I can’t stop, I just have so much bad feelings inside. My baby don’t deserve this sour mom.

I have all the theory of how to be better, but I really want to know how to put all this in practice. I don’t know what to expect from you stranger posters.

I am realizing that I should find help, but I have tray psychologist once, and it was not useful. I tried psychiatric and neither worked. What next?

    You’re not alone. I live one the border and I hear stories very similar to your own. I’m not sure what city you are living in, but there is a program called AVANCE that may help you with your English and the development of your baby. Look it up. It just might be what you’re looking for.

    Read some the other stories here about mothers who feel the same way, I think you will find a lot of support. Before women have children they often envision motherhood being hard work but wonderful, but don’t foresee themselves actually not liking it, not that you don’t like your child, but not liking all the comes with motherhood. You are definitely not alone.
