I don’t for one second condone my behaviour as a parent. I will admit I have struggled.
My daughter is currently living with my ex because I admitted I was having a hard time. I lost both my parents and without explaining too much I found Christmas particularly difficult. Me and my ex had a good relationship until he started a new family. Although I am happy for him it put a huge strain on our relationship and it has came to the point where I feel scared to talk to him.
After my parents death I asked the doctor for a change in medication. It’s still not sorted after over a year and I feel like I’m letting everyone down for some things that could easily be fixed. I get doctors are overwhelmed but how can you help yourself if the only option is to rely on other people.
I don’t need suicidal support but sometimes it is nice to just be able to tell people how you’re feeling without any repercussions or them wanting to try and fix you.
I’m sure I can’t be the only one and feeling very lonely as I’m sure a lot of others are.
