I need help/advice, although I don't know if this would be better in MH.
I'm not coping with 19 month old DS. Really not coping. I cry every day and hate my life. On the outside it looks 'perfect' - we have an active (toddler group) social life and are financially comfortable. I hate it though. I have struggled with MH problems before and knowI need to go back to the CMHT but can't bring myself to. I'm so embarrassed.
I told DH that I wanted to leave yesterday. His response was that 'we'd have to put DS into foster care'. DH works full-time and I am a SAHM but am looking for any work at the moment. Anything to get me a life of my own. I want to leave DS with my parents if DH won't take him. I can't look after him anymore.
It's just the shame if I leave. I know I'll probably have to leave the area as I'll be That Woman Who Left Her Child. It has nothing to do with DH, it's entirely that I can't cope with being a mother.
I just wondered if anyone had ever left their DC and what the reactions were and how it felt. I probably won't miss him. I don't have any feelings at the moment apart some sadness.
