Ok, you a sweetie but I just GOT to say a thing or two, and you can just tell me to butt out!!!
Anyhow, when I was reading your replies I was getting a little bothered.\
For one, I REALLY don't think your kids would rather not have you around , really, when it comes down to it. Would you expect your kids to bail on you if you had cancer or something? You have a sickness, just unfortunately mental health stuff is STILL frighteningly misunderstood and underfunded etc. People just don't 'get' it that its an illness. They are the stupid ones. Do they REALLY think we LIKE feeling this way??????????????Would they trade places?????????????????
I'm glad your still able to maintain your sense of humour, its saved me many a time, just being able to laugh.
I'm SO glad you were able to stay under your duvet!!!
EXCUSE ME???!!! You do have rights!!!!! Grrrrr! I'm wanting to get back on my soapbox about mental illness being an ILLNESS, but I'll shut up!
Are you serious? Do your children actually throw your errors in your face??? OMG. Send them to me so I can kick their *sses for them the ungrateful little wretches.Better yet, let them live in my house of craziness for awhile and they'll proly go screaming back home!!!!
Anyways, Milly, you sound lovely. Raising four kids is so very hard at the best of times. W/O the preacher aspect added to it as well. I think you need to give yourself alot more credit for surviving as long as you did! And now your doing what you need to do to make your life better.
Do you guys sit down with your kids and explain that this is ILLNESS? That you are getting help? It'll be good training for them and at least there will be 4 more people who go forth that understand about being sick.
Anyhow, this is long winded and no doubt annoying so I'll shut up now!
Take care Milly, your doing great.
