Am I a bad parent?

I'm really struggling atm I don't know if it's depression but I've been feeling like my daughter & partner would be much better if I wasn't around. I don't feel like I'm a good mother & she deserves better than this. I can't believe I'm saying this out loud but I don't know where else to turn? I feel like I'm failing daily & it breaks my heart when I look at that little girl

Genuinely bad parents don't even question the quality of their parenting or if their children are deserving of better.
Even without knowing you I can feel confident that your DD needs you and her life would be much poorer without you.
Go see your GP and get the ball rolling - how you feel now will pass.

There's no such thing as a perfect mother (or person for that matter). The only mother your DD wants is YOU. No one else will do.

How exactly do you feel you're failing her?
