Hi Hitherhope,

Welcome to psych central! I have found this a great place for support and learning.

I'm sorry you're in such a difficult situation. It must be so hard for the whole family.

I have lived with depression the majority of my life, and I can relate to feeling that I want nothing out of routine to happen, but I agree that the children's needs are very important, often more important.

I don't know, but you might find this forum helpful....
