To not want to be a mother anymore

I had my first ds at 21 , my boyfriend at the time disappeared as soon as told him. I couldn't go through with an abortion. My parents told me they will support and help me. That didn't happen. I got a place in university and couldn't go because no Chilcare was supplied and I couldn't afford to pay. My mother refused to help. I was then kicked out of the family home when DS was 1 . I struggled for many years living on benefits and all my hopes and dreams seemed impossible.

Fast forward to now I have had a another DS with my partner. He's 3 . I have no family support and we can't afford childcare. So once again my life is on hold but my DP works full time and is progressing in his career. I have had no time to have anything in this life for myself. I'm 36 and have a three year old and feel like I'm reliving it all over again. My 15 year old is almost reared.

I feel like walking away from it all. I'm depressed and unhappy. We don't have much money , don't own our own house and don't go anywhere. Iv had enough. I'm worn out my whole life has been a struggle . I'm going to kill myself if I have to live another life in this miserable existence.

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.

You can also go to the Samaritans website, 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.

Thanks everyone.
