I have always suffered for depression every since I was younger and it has gotten worse as I have grown now like I said I have a 2 year old that I am helping r as raise and about to have my second child I was abused when I was younger and I tell myself that it was my fault

[Hidden in reply to NicoleCady23]

I’m sorry to hear that. I also suffer from severe depression, anxiety & PTSD. Have you tried seeing a therapist? Do you have anyone supportive in your life to help you through this?

[NicoleCady23 in reply to Hidden]

I have a wonderful mother in-law that has helped me and is helping me with my 2 year but I can't help but think because I don't have my son with me I am a bad mom

[Hidden in reply to NicoleCady23]

Also, I promise you that the abuse you’ve suffered isn’t your fault. I’ve also been a victim to abuse both sexually & domestic. It’s not our fault.

[NicoleCady23 in reply to Hidden]

Wow I alway thought I was the only one that got abused sexual as bad domestic violence

You’re definitely not alone. There’s so many of us on this site that are dealing with many of the same things. I am glad to hear your mother n law helps you. You’re dealing with a lot & adding onto that being pregnant. I know how that is. I was in an abusive relationship & actually lost my baby at the hands of the father. He pushed me out of a moving car because we were arguing about him cheating. It’s been the hardest time. I carry a lot of guilt over losing my baby. She was my hope & I wanted her so badly. Please take care of yourself & your unborn baby. You can get through this. <3

I think mermaid <3 has covered it all. Being a good mom is harder than most can imagine, especially when you have been subject to so much neglect and abuse yourself. The fact that you're reaching out says so much about you. We already know you love your babies. I lost my 3rd little one last month and still can't quite admit it to myself yet.

Your baby loves you you love him and he knows it! just keep trying to be better for the 3 of you and don't hesitate to tell us if you need help. Just be prepared to fight for your babies. Fight the depression and negative people around.
