due to my mental illnesses i was unable to care or my self so my mother in law stepped up and raised my son until he was 6. However i was still present for most important things. I worked all the time at night and slept most the day because i was depressed to no end, my anxieties took a hold on me very tightly. Recently my mother in law went back to work so i have been taking care of my son more now, i feel lost because i dont know how he likes certain things and he has his own mental illnesses that make it so he does not know how to tell me certain things. i recently relapsed and got so depressed i did not want to go on so i backed away and only did his morning care before school. I was pushed this time to get the help i need. I want to be a good mother but it is very hard with what i deal with and now helping him with his mental illness.

any advice would appreciated!
