Losing my mind

Please help me, i feel like I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I have 4 young children and they’re making my life a misery. The first 3 years of motherhood were hard but also blissful. Now im honestly contemplating why I even had children. My youngest (age 4) screams and twines from the second she wakes until she exhausts herself around 9/9.30pm. I try and soothe her from the second I put her to bed at 6.30-7. Her brothers share a different room so whilst this is going on they’re either jumping about like maniacs or physically fighting. I have a partner but he does absolutely zero. I feel like waking out and never coming back or worse still ending it all. I’ve had 7 years of feeling like this and I can’t take it anymore. I have no respite and feel like I’m in a living hell.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Tell your partner what you said here and insist on 1. More support 2. Couples counselling to explore why he is so profoundly unsupportive.

How old are your kids? Is 4 year old at school or preschool?

They’re all primarily school age. My 4 year old started reception this September.

Your partner is failing you and his children. That is your primary issue. What’s his excuse?

He’s just always been that way. I despise him for it now. I don’t even love him anymore but can’t afford to leave. It is like having a 5th child!
