I'm a defective human being. I'm a woman child. I can't even drive. I depend on my husband for everything. I should be DOING things. I don't know why anyone even cares about me. My daughter is probably going to end up in therapy because of me when she's an adult. I'm just wasting my life away.

I know the feeling but it's untrue. Start therapy now for your daughter. She could always use an extra adult in her corner. Should is a bad word in our house. What little things can you do to build up stamina to do bigger things. Things you once enjoyed. Maybe do a low interaction thing with your daughter like watching her favorite show with her. Something little that means a lot. I sit in the kitchen while my daughter does kitchen chores. Just so she can talk to me and she's not bored. There's a lot of things I can't do and that weighs on me but it's the small stuff I remember from childhood. My parents weren't great but I remember watching TV with my dad, going out late for tacos, just driving, basketball games And late night pizza. Didn't happen a lot but making time for me cemented our relationship. So try and make memories. What does your daughter like?

You are far from defective, my friend. People care about you because you are worthy of their love.

Not defective at all. Worth so much, to so many.
