I just can’t put any more effort in to trying to be happy. I can’t. I’m done.
But I also can’t let my children keep seeing how terribly unhappy I am. It’s not fair.
I don’t know what to do. I keep thinking that if I could get at the root cause then I could sort it but I haven’t managed to and I can’t try any more. It’s not fair because I haven’t got real problems like a lot of people have. I’ve got enough money and a nice enough life from the outside.
I don’t know what to do and I’m fed up of being a terrible mother. I don’t have any friends to talk to and I just don’t know what to do.

Coming to terms with just being sad forever. And how do you hide it?

It sounds like you under a huge amount of stress, and all of it situational.
What would it be like (theoretically) if you separated from your husband and took the children back to England?

Sounds like you've done brilliantly with your retraining. How awful that you can't use it.
If your husband works away all the time anyway, isn't it feasible for you to move back to England? Isn't he open and supportive in trying to help you have a better quality of life?

I think I’d be struggling with the same issues but in a smaller house with no money and the children resenting me for taking them away from the privileges of life which their fathers situation provides them. In all honesty.
They’re all I care about and I’d feel like I was putting my comfort and state of mind over theirs.
