I've suffered from depression for most of my life, I'm 51. I was able to manage it really well until after 16 years of marriage and 3 children my husband and I divorce and he marries my best friend. I was destroyed. Details aside I fell deeper into the darkness. There were many times I avoided seeing my children or falling through on plans because I didn't want them to see me like that. I attempted suicide. I just was spiraling down I knew I was hurting them it took 3 years of my life.

Since then I've fought like hell to pull it together. I was able to get insurance, got back on track with my business, got back into therapy. I'm stronger and healthier now then I've ever been. But it came with a huge price tag. My middle daughter hasn't spoken to me in 4 years, she is getting married in 2 weeks I'm not invited. There are time the pain is so big. My oldest daughter is going to have a baby in Oct. my relationship with her is tentative at best. It's just hard
