It's depressing over here. Tell me your amazing news

[whatnowthen124]

I have 2 babies with my long term boyfriend. He left 6 weeks ago but keeps coming back to mess with my head. Today I took an overdose. I'm completely okay, it was just under the toxic dose and I'm now staying at my mums with the babies after a few hours in a and e. I can't bare to go back to our house.

I rang him and told him what I'd done immediately after so that he could come and care for the babies. He swore a lot and didn't really care. My mum came to the rescue and I haven't heard anything from him since. For all he knows I could be dead and he has no clue who's looking after his children.

It's crazy how you think you know people to the core but they can change so quickly.

So... I want to hear what lovely and wholesome news you've had recently and restore my faith in humanity.

I hope you're all having a lovely lovely day. I have actually spent some lovely time with my babies since coming home and I feel content right now.

Oh OP that’s so tough, I am so sorry. Do you feel like you’re getting some decent help and support now? Hopefully this is your rock bottom and you can move onwards and upwards now.

My wholesome moment has been realising that toddler DD knows lots of different bird species after telling me “look mummy, robin! pigeon! wagwie!” (I think the last one was magpie) at the park today. Just a lovely moment of seeing her develop and learning stuff that I definitely haven’t taught her.

Hope you have some lovely moments like this with your babies too

I’m not really sure what to say to that. You took an overdose alone in the house with two babies?

Can you just stay at your mums with the babies ? You really need the emotional support at the moment I have no good news , only bad so I won't burden you further , but didn't want to read and run . Hope you feel stronger soon . You do t need someone who cares that little about you or his children. Good luck x

As a serious question, what sort of response do you want to this? Best case that it makes OP feel like a shit parent? Do you not think that she is likely in shock and will be having very dark moments over the coming days and weeks and this isn’t needed or helpful right now?

I’m sorry you’re going through this right now, but keep being strong, I love the positive attitude that is starting to creep through your post 😊

Today a neighbour brought round some tubes of Smarties for the kids for no reason other than it was half term and she thought the kids deserved a treat. We’re so lucky with our neighbours around here

Oh, maybe it's not right for me to vent here. Pricks are everywhere, they can't be escaped!! Sorry pp's I don't think it will benefit me if I have to read this crap, thank you so much though for commenting

Well if that is the case and brings into light the stark reality of what happened/the serious of the situation, then yes, I imagine it would help as sometimes you can’t see the wood from the trees when you are vulnerable.

@PetersRabbitt what are you even on about? You are anonymous here yes, but you are a real person with a real life, as am I. If this is who are as a person (the type to get a kick out of kicking someone who is on the floor) then perhaps make a thread about your own life and comment on that. It would be more beneficial.

Going to have a bath now and be thankful for my amazing family and precious children.

I voted for the first time as a new citizen of my resident country 🙂

Now please get some help. X
