Hi, i dont know what has brought me here but through tears and pain i need to put some words out there, they may fall upon death ears but this is a process i feel i need to do. Im a early 30's man who had a bad childhood (abuse, black sheep) i had trust issues i never knew my dad i was homeless at 15, i had a grotty bedsit whilst i was doing my GCSE's and a milk round to pay my rent, then when i was evicted i was in a hostel full of drug addicts, i managed to get through so many tough times i got small jobs by the time i was 19 i had gotten good at my sales job, sometimes i had money other times i didnt, i have moved 25+ times since the age of 15 had many jobs was not close with family but wanted my own family i never loved anybody i always cheated in relationships , when i was 25 i was tired of all the drama and tried to bounce back again, i did successfully and got a good job had a nice apartment i passed my driving test and then i met x, i had never had a connection to another human like i did with x she was amazing i told her things id never told anybody before i was 27 she was 25 we stayed together got closer and consider this time to be the best of my life, we decided to plan a family together, she got pregnant quickly and got this confirmed by the doctors, on our 3 month scan after reading baby books following pregnancy do's and dont's we was very close, the scan showed no baby, we had miscarried, a few months later we tried again and got pregnant with worry from the 1st time we paid for a private scan and everything was fine, we was overjoyed, the labour was 48 hours and a cesarean section was done, i held my baby as my partner was still unconscious i cried and worried but was assured all was ok, we went home 2 days later, 5 days of being home (the only 5 days we spent together as a family) she was not well, she had an infection, after transfers and medical procedures she died, she was healthy mid 20's girl, she was my world, i left my job and raise my son but the depression an pre-occupation with death haunts me, she haunts me, that life everything i wanted haunts me Im now a single dad on benefits i have support from her family which i really appreciatte but this is not enough this life is not enough i am angry that this life was stolen from me i would gladly die today if it was not for my son i am living just for my son he is the only thing i care about lufe is horrible iv bounced back so many times but this is just too much she died over 3 years ago i have had no sort of relationship and do not want to, I WANT HER BACK i am not stupid i know this isnt possible but I cannot accept this life, i strived so much to where i got to have it taken from me, if my child wasnt here id go into nothingness today and just rest, i have had too much, doctors, medication nothing helps it just provides a false sense of happiness that is quickly outweighed by sadness, uncontrollable sadness, i dont want to be here anymore but i cant leave my child an orphan. If anybody read this thank-you and be grateful for what you have. All she wanted was a family. All i wanted was a family.

Hi there wasthisfate

So sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time at the moment. We hope things start to get better for you soon.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Very best wishes from everyone at MNHQ OP Flowers
