I've been skipping church for the past several weeks because I'm just too swamped and exhausted between work and raising kids. Does anyone do a home bible study on Sundays with just their family? I'd love some pointers or coaching for beneficial ways to do this.

I get it, but would really encourage you to get your family to church into a congregation that will support you and your family. Pastoring and preaching/teaching is a calling and we are called as a body to worship together. While you can get by for a while with this approach, we are not meant to do it on our own and away from the body. Maybe take naps after church :)
You can check out a Bible reading plan like M’Cheyne and find a local church. Maybe you can follow their series or calendar or get study resources to follow along with the church.

Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ,

Sharing a word with you all: Matthew 6

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Praying for you during this difficult journey

Honestly so many Churches steam online. If I can't go in person I still turn it on for the family. There's are even some that do kids church with activities.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
