im not sure if i doing the right thing talking to people i dont know / or know me
i have 4 children who i think are ashamed of me for some of the things i do. i have a crumby job washing dishes because i dont think i could do anything else. i dye my hair at least once a week just so that people will talk to me instead of talking about me. i have also found myself hiding my feelings behind masks so that people dont know how much im hurting . i have driven most of my friends away so that they dont see the real me. im a weak man that fears about things 99% of the time my worst fear is being alone. sorry for going on.. hope i dont sound like a .....wierdo (as my kids would say)

  I just would like to say that this is a very supportive group of folks who probably share alot of your issues and can communicate with you regarding some things others might not understand. If you have recieved any therapy or diagnosis share this with your kids if they are old enough to understand. Perhaps sticking with the medical aspects until they can deal with the what if Daddy acts this way or that. This is a great place to vent and give and recieve support since most of us are in the same boat all struggling to keep it afloat together. I wish you all the best Danielle V. |

Therealme, you work-it doesn't matter what you're doing, you're trying and taking care of yourself financially. Don't put yourself down for that. Your kids would be more ashamed of you if you weren't out making a living. I don't think they are ashamed of you though. I think you may be projecting your low self-esteem onto them. I'm sure they love you very much.
People will talk about you no matter what you do. It's just the way people are sometimes. Dying your hair every week is going to make your hair fall out. It's no good to dye it that much. I don't know what ages your children are but I'm a grown woman and I STILL sometimes call my Mom wierd.  I think people who feel unworthy of love cannot accept love when it's given to them because they feel they are not worthy of it and are sure it's going to turn on them or it can't be sincere. It's hard to learn to love yourself but that's where you need to start. Stop putting yourself down and start focusing more on your positive attributes. Give yourself credit where credit is due.

Kids are always down on their parents. I know I was when I was younger...and then one day I wake up and think, "What was I so worked up about, anyway?"

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
