Ive a 3 week old son, a four year old daughter, my husband left a couple of weeks ago.

The baby is lovely, I adore him. My four year old's behaviour is terrible. I got up to see to ds, dd woke up, screamed hystericallym demanded i went back to bed immediately. She is over demandingm jealous of the baby to an extreme.
to be honest i really dislike her at the moment. daddy doesnt want her ad she is begging to see him. he wont see her. I get the crap for it,

I feel like i want her to go live somewhere else. i really really dislike her. I know she had a lot of upset, it isnt her fault, its me. Im horrible.

What am I going to do, I love my childreb, i dont want to feel like this. I dont feel depressed as such, but Im not myself at all

Perhaps its better for them both if i gve hem up and go away

zippitippitoes · 15/11/2006 14:50

I've looked at another of your threads you live near Dagenham, don't you..I'm sure there must be people who live near enough to help

zippitippitoes · 15/11/2006 14:59

I've started another thread for you dottymum, it's school time at the moment but do come back and talk to us

zippitippitoes · 15/11/2006 15:05

this is the thread I've started for you..you don't need to feel totally alone

KezzaG · 15/11/2006 15:12

dottymum I am near you and would help in any way I can.

I have one ds and had pnd. I can really remember how bad my fear was that if I admitted it someone would take ds away, but now I can see that just does not happen. The fact you want the best for your dcs shows you are a good mum.

Please come back and tell me where you are.

fizzbuzz · 15/11/2006 15:22

How terrible terrible terrible. DH left me when ds was 17 month old, and like you I convinced myself that ds would be better off away from me.
Even wrote a letter saying I wanted him put up for adoption as I couldn't do it anymore.
Ds now 12 years old and wonderful wonderful child, light of my life. Looking back I know how ill and confused I was.
Please please think again, your children need you more than ANYONE else, and you need them. Don't know what else to say....please please post again

HuwEdwards · 15/11/2006 15:23

god, this is really bothering me...where is she?

zippitippitoes · 15/11/2006 15:25

I'm hoping she will come back after school time as she has a four year old, might be in school

sarahinphuket · 15/11/2006 15:26

please post again
we are all here for you...

KezzaG · 15/11/2006 15:26

I know this is the saddest thing I have heard. she cant be allowed to give her dcs away like this, but I cant think of any way we could track her down unless she comes back and tells us.

Glad you came back, dottymum.

The children really are better without me. Im doing the right thing for them. They will just forget me. The flights are booked. Grandparents have said if i want to go too that is fine. but i dont thik my going with them is best for them.
Im no good for them. Ill just ruin their lives or they will hate me when they grow up more. I dont want to leave them i love them very much. Im doing this for them.
Ive ruined everything ive touched. i cant make aything work.
I appreciate it sounds strange to other people, but i know how useess i am and how happy their lives will be with me not around
