It's so fucking exhausting being a parent to DCs who suffer with anxiety and depression.
Ds is 21 has a history of depression, been on Sertraline for a long time and has now been dumped by his girlfriend who was his world. He's distraught and struggling to see a future atm.
Dd 17 is off to uni summer school tomorrow (something she wanted to do) and is so very anxious about it that it's making her ill.
I'm spending all my time checking they're holding it together and reassuring them that it'll be ok.
Dp just doesn't get it and I don't talk to him about it as he just says 'they'll be ok, stop worrying'.
I'm only just maintaining my own sanity.
Dp, dd and me have a holiday booked in a couple of weeks but now I'm worrying about ds being at home on his own. His friends have busy lives working and with their partners they can't always be there for him.
I feel guilty for having kids when life is so difficult and painful for them
