just reading you're post and I can feel how much you care about you're daughter. Don't be so hard on yourself..We all do our best as parents. My daughter is all grown up now and I remember how I used the be a supermom getting involved in all kinds of activities..but I also remember I had times when this was soooooo difficult. I'm just happy I had help from my partner or that she was busy being a kid with her friends. I did however try to keep doing some things with her but did less..I found excuses..When she got older, she started to be more aware..and for some reason I started to talk to her more about how I was feeling because I felt guilty and I still sometimes do especially after a period when I become completely unavailable because I'm just so not "me" . It's hard, do you're best, try not to make promises..sometimes it's hard to keep a promise..and if you can, try to find support for her when you are well so that when you are not feeling well that she can have support. I wish I did that when my daughter was younger I think it would of helped.
