I soend my life hidden being miserable...why would my daughter want to get me anything? I'm not the mom I used to be....I used to play Barbies, house, everything..ever since I had my baby though I do nothing..I have no energy, I just want to sleep all the time I'm miserable, I yell all the time....I'm not the Mom I'm supposed to be...I don't deserve anything nice.....I am a horrible person

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I suggest that you are suffering from postpartum depression hon. It's important that you speak to your doctor ASAP about how you are feeling. You should not have to suffer like this and the doctor can help you feel better. Your daughter loves you unconditionally, as you love your children unconditionally. She wants you to feel how she loves you and gives you this from her heart. You most definitely do deserve this love. You will get back on track again....just please....make a call to your Dr. ASAP ok? Sending you understanding and strength.  sabby |

Hello scorringham,
Welcome to PC! You sound like an amazing mom, it's no wonder your daughter gave you that gift of love, she had a good teacher her mom! I'm with sabby, it sounds like Postpartum depression. Talk to your doctor, there are medications out there to help you.

hey, will PM you but feeling a bit mad with it at the mo- wrote you a big LOOOONG PM and then the computer went off line when I sent it grrrrrrrrrrr!!! Anyway, that is sooo sweet of your daughter. As sabby said, your children love you unconditionally. I know how you feel- how could I be the 'mother from hell' one minute and then have my daughters coming up telling me they love me and giving me hugs and kisses the next? I feel like at times I certainly do not deserve their love, but I know that no matter what I love them with all my heart and it is them that have kept me going through all of this... and remember, there really is NO such thing as a 'perfect' mum, and you are doing the best that you can. Lots of hugs, suz.
