My family is the most important thing to me in the whole world but I just don't know how much I can take. Sometimes I feel like running away. I just don't know how much I can deal with. It has been non stop. I am spent. My husband has bronchitis now and can't help me. I feel so alone. The reason we are on social assistance is so he can help me can help me with the kids, not happening right now. I think I'm at my breaking point.

Are your kids old enough to pitch in a little more?

I can relate. I have 4 kids who have been taking turns getting sick for a week and a half. My kids only puke in the middle of the night. Money is tight because business is slow. Christmas is proving to be stressful. I get it. Hang in there.

Holidays are the hardest when things aren't going well. Being a parent is a hard and often thankless job, but there will come a day when the kids realize what you went through for them. It's hard to find a reason to fight on sometimes, but we have to fight on anyway for the kids. I hope things get easier for you.

I cannot imagine what it is like for you right now. You must be feeling very alone without your husband to lean on when you need to do this with him. Can you have a freind or family relation come in and give you a break, even though it may be for a short period of time? Maybe having someone to talk to face to face who understands your situation would help. So a visit by a freind could be of help to you. I think you need to be given the opportunity to take care of yourself. Otherwise, how can you be there for your family?
I really do not know what to say that would be of any substantive help to you. I wish I was able to do this for you. Right now I have problems taking care of myself. However, I am here to listen. I think others here will listen and reply to you if given some time. FWIW I know my situation is not anything like yours. Still, I recently though of running away myself. Life has turned against me over the last couple months. I know it will get better, but right now it is difficult and down right scary. So I think I have a little understanding of what you are going through, not much, but just a little bit.

Hey. Sorry you are struggling. To be honest I cannot even imagine being responsible for other human beings, I'm not doing too hot a job of caring for myself. Keeping my cats fed and happy feels like too much at times. So give yourself credit for how strong you really are.
As somebody else said, is there a close friend or relative who can help you out right now? Sometimes even just the littlest bit of help can make things feel more doable and it's important to have somebody on your side. Hang in there. |

I have no friends and no relatives that I feel comfortable with.
