too much

[Janetlw11]

i have severe depression due to so many health issues, my son passing, being disabled, my husband cheating and physically and verbally abusing me, losing my home, and my kids not talking to me I feel so overwhelmed I don’t know what to do.

I am so sorry you are suffering. It sounds like you have had a hard time and I can understand why you feel the way you do. Your husband and children should treat you better. I hope that you feel better and find peace someday.

Janet, it's ok to have all your feelings. I suggest a personal therapist and a family therapist, and hey a marriage counselor might help too. It's hard to be hurting and be around others hurting. Try going to some women's groups, grieving or depression. Try having weekly or a few times a week where you all come together as a family and check in with each other. The goal is to tell everyone they are important and you love them. I don't think you should give your husband a pass but ask him calmly what he needed. I am guessing some drama free moments trying to feel good. He needs to figure out how to do that with you. good luck. I hope some of this helps.

I know the overwhelm feeling and it can start to take its toll but I want to inspire you to know that you are special and unique and certainly have added value to your family's lives. But right now you need to focus on yourself and ways to slowly start feeling better by being nice to yourself. I am facing awful family issues at this time which used to be my source of support I'm learning that through reaching out, we are not alone and there are people who do understand and are willing to lend support in whatever way they can. Hang in there, love is in the air.
