Hello OP,
Sometimes we have to feel like we have hit rock bottom to realise that’s it, you’ve seen the worse and things can and will get better.
Your children will think you are wonderful because you are their strength, it’s such a tough job and they don’t come with a manual, we are all just winging it. Some more than others, I regularly fuck up, no one is perfect, but it doesn’t make us bad mums.
Please see that it’s a tough time and see that it can be temporary, things will always get better and the world is a better place with you in it. I admire you and all the others that ask for help on the bad days, I think it shows so much courage and strength to say “I’m not okay today” what is it that you think has made today not okay?
You’re not attention seeking at all, please chat as long as you need to, it’s a safe space here or please reach out to the Samaritans or emergency services if you do want to talk to hear a kind voice instead of reading them. You are not the first one and not the last one to ask for help, it’s very normal, it doesn’t make you an attention seeker and there’s no shame in needing to share. Please off load and vent as much as you need to
