I'm a mom too, I have two toddlers. I'll admit there's been desperate times where I felt I was unable to care for myself let alone them. I felt like packing my bags and running away for awhile, leaving them with their daddy. It's the most difficult job in the world and people have to realize that in order to care for somebody else, especially somebody as dependant as children, that we have to be capable of caring for ourselves as well. This situation doesn't mean your a "bad" mom, just a mom going through a rough patch trying to figure stuff out. You know your child's safe, you know where she is. This time should make you focus on yourself. This way you can figure out the mental/emotional skills you need to be a mom....don't judge yourself so harshly. Don't allow others to look upon your situation and judge neither...just do what you have too.
