I Want to Share Something With You Ladies... Posted: 02-11-04 13:21pm
I'm sorry for not telling you this in the
first place but I wanted to get to know
you first and for you to get to know me.
After I had my twins I literally had no
help with the kids. I wasent with their
dad (til later) my mom moved with her
boyfriend and got a job and I had no one
else. I was going down hill pretty fast,
I didnt eat sleep or take a shower cause I
never had time. I got very depressed and
I even had suicidel thoughts. By the time
my family relized it I was in pretty bad
shape. I took care of my kids but the way
that things were going I knew I couldn't
much longer. My grandma offered to take
my twins while I got on some medicine to
help me.So I agreed. I got on some
medicine to help me with my depression and
got my own apartment so I would have more
room for the kids. I ended up staying
with my grandma cause the babies were so
comfortable there and I wanted to be close
to them, but I kept my own place too.
After I got together with jesse and things
started looking up for me I wanted the
kids back with me full time but my grandma
was extremly attached to them so we
decided to share them. She says they
light up her life! well thats why I
tell you ladies sometimes that my grandma
helps me alot. I just didn't want to tell
you right away cause I didnt want anyone
to think i'm a bad mom cause i'm a really
great mommy. And i'm glad I made that
decicsion cause who knows what could of
happened if I never accepted help from
her.

Jill,
you are a good mother and a good person.
No one thinks any less of you. I am so
happy someone was there to help you
though. You are doing so well. We all
make mistakes and have problems. I am
glad you are overcoming yours!

Jill,
most people would never admit to
themselves, yet any other that they needed
help. I am so glad you did. I am glad
you had your grandma there for you to help
out. That was very nice of her and who
new, the kids loved it too. I don't think
what you did was bad. I think above all
it was the best thing you could have done.
:d
lots of love
heather

Post nantal depression, or depression of
any kind is nothing to be ashamed of, nor
is asking for, or accepting help, to be
honest when paul is away I spend 95% of my
time at my parents place, even sleep there
most nights cause I feel that I cope
better when I have real support, you are
not alone, I wish more mums would ask for
help when they needed it
well thats why I
tell you ladies sometimes that my grandma
helps me alot. I just didn't want to tell
you right away cause I didnt want anyone
to think i'm a bad mom cause i'm a really
great mommy. And i'm glad I made that
decicsion cause who knows what could of
