I was a good mom and did everything for my kids even when I felt the worst but bc of my mental health issues, my children, now 20 and 16, avoid me and do not want to spend time with me. I am heartbroken. My daughter says that I am boring, weird, and crazy and it is true.
Why was I cursed with this torture? I know my life is ruined completely. The future terrifies me. I have no life. I lost everything and everyone. It is completely empty and I am 51 so now it is too late. I was horribly abused and I am being punished for that for the rest of my life suffering from debilitating anxiety and depression with an empty life. It is impossible to do anything. I am on medication but it is not helping at all. I am completely alone. I need support to get through this but I have nobody. I feel imprisoned by my mind and body. They terrorize me constantly. |

I feel for you @darkfeary this is an early empty nest situation where the kids are starting to want to flap their wings and leave tlhe nest. A parent does a lot for their kids and tlhen what hlappens they want to fly away.
My daughter called me a dinosaur because I wanted to set reasonable boundaries and she wanted to hear nothing of it. Kids think they know it all and as much as we want to keep them from getting hurt, tlhey want to do it their way. When my daughter moved far away to school I had to reexamine my purpose in life. It is a change but there can be good things again. Now that they are pulling away what kind of things did you dream of doing?
