I don’t want to be here anymore

Every day is a fight. Every day is a struggle. Every day I am told that what I do is t good enough.

My husband gas lights me. My daughter steals from me, hits me and throws things at me.

If I say I can’t cope my husband points out that he owns the house, I only work part time and that if I want more of a say I should work harder.

I would love to, but I’ve got a chronic illness that gets in the way. I’ve nearly died 3 times in the 20+ years we’ve been together.

If I had the earning capacity id be gone. I can’t live like this endlessly.

I pay all insurances and food bills, fund most of the holidays and pay for our daughter’s hobbies.

I feel broken. I am broken.

If I go away for a weekend I’m told how much nicer and calmer it is if I’m not there (reader he sets no boundaries and it’s a free for all when I’m away)

In short. I hate my life.

I’d quite happily not be here, there enough prescription meds for me to make that happen.

But I won’t. I’ll carry on. Hating life. Wishing I were stronger.

There is no unreasonable in this. Just a pouring of words and feelings.

I’m saving, slowly and I will leave. And I will be me again.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
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: www.mumsnet.com/webguide/mental-health. You can also go to the Samaritans website: www.samaritans.org 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.
We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
