This was copy however this made me cry because I think I am emotionally unstable for my daughter. I barely survive every day and she deserves so much more but I can not imagine my life without her . What can I do . I am scared to reach out for help because I am scared they will take her from me , don't get me wrong she is fed , clean, looked after ,just I feel I am not all there emotionally for her,because I am struggling my own demons and sometimes I just want to be left alone . Her presence can frustrate me at those times .

Pls help me

No one here can tell you if you are emotionally neglectful or not. You should try to see a therapist to understand your situation and get help for both of you.

@Savingthehedgehogs lets address another elephant in the room , I still co sleep with her and she will not give up ,maybe that is another thing that that supposed make me feel crazy and yea it does .oh it's another problem

Sleeping with DD is fine and she will feel emotionally connected to you

@Normallynumb she is still sleeping with me and hates if I mention anything else 🥲

She's so little and if she gets comfort and you both get sleep, it's great
I did the same with all of my 3

@Savingthehedgehogs

Aww these are such lovely ideas, brought a tear to my eye 🥹

On my days off I'm often thinking I need to take my DD (3.5) out and about to fun places to keep her happy and entertained but actually, showing love and connection is so basic and simple when you break it down to what you've described here - might try some of these myself. She'd love the teddy bear picnic actually! 🥰

If you care about whether you might be neglecting your child, you are not neglecting your child. Neglectful parents either don't know or don't care that something is wrong. People do throw about the term far too casually and apply it to stuff that is merely sub-optimal parenting.

I'm sorry you are obviously struggling - do reach out and get help, I don't think anyone is going to accuse you of neglect, nobody gets kids taken away for being imperfect as parents.

I worked to support a stressed, very busy family.

DM was sad “I am not maternal” was her worry.

She described their busy life, their timetable, kids clubs, working hours and super organisation.

I gave her one piece of advice. STOP.

Sit down, snuggle on the sofa, listen, talk, read, watch tv together.

It worked, she said. Gave them time to breath. She felt I had given them permission to just be!
