To start off, please don't get the wrong Idea. I love my children dearly. My dd is 8 months and I accidentally fell pregnant with my ds when she was 2 months old. I'm 6 months pregnant now. They are my life.
So after her birth I had ppd mainly due to people not leaving me alone and said people (family) threatening to report me for how untidy my home was. So her early days were spent me cleaning. Not with her as I was so worried. Said people came over uninvited and wouldn't leave. I've suffered depression and severe ptsd in the past.
So recently I'm in a bit of debt from my partner. He then lost his job. I work part time and because this house is my dad's home, I'm a private Tennant. I get hardly any help financially. Then I have this debt to shift. With Christmas i put all the money I had given to me and for my daughter in my bank just to try and scrape by. All my loved possessions are on ebay. I've gotten rid of everything just to help me clear the debt and keep a roof over my daughter.
Family have done nothing but yell at me for months to buy myself something because 'I matter too' I don't. I'm desperate for a new bra but I can't bring myself to buy one. I don't deserve it. I could buy my children something. My partner just seems to have everything he wants. He doesn't go without either.
I'm just broken. I've had to sell all my loved jewellery. My brother committed suicide in 2015 and I've had to secretly sell his expensive watch. My engagement ring has gone and he refuses to buy me another when we're in a better position. I can't live. My partner can't seem to get a job. I'm stuck. Literally stuck. The house is being put on the market and I'm loosing my home. I don't even know who to turn to anymore.
I look at old photos where I'm happy and I mourn that happiness. My kids are my happiness. But right now, my ds would be better up up for adoption as much as that will kill me and my daughter deserves so much better than me. I just wish I could give them everything.
I'm not pleading poverty. I just want to know I'm not alone feeling this worthless. Feeling like I don't matter and feeling so fed up.
