I'm depressed can't get back in to the things I love doing. I'm thinking a lot about my children ☹️

HI @Leeanne, 

Sorry to hear you are feeling so low. I can understand why your kids would be playing on your mind a lot. I read your first post and really felt for you - I really believe we do the best with what we know at the time. 

If only we had a crystal ball and could see into the future and base our decisions around that life would be probably a lot easier sometimes. So many things are easier in hindsight. 

I really do hope you are okay.

Take care - please be kind to yourself,

I don't have much of a choice when it comes to my children not talking . But I hope one day they will I live on my own thats very lonely for me ☹️☹️

I can't stop thinking about the children that don't talk I do hope that some day they will. I'm so anxious about it

Hugs @Leeanne ,

I'm not sure what has caused them not to speak to you, but it sounds painful.

While you are upset that they are not speaking, do you think they are even thinking about it?

As I said, I'm not sure what has happened, so please don't think I'm judging.

In general, it's just hard to see someone pine for something when the other party don't have a care in the world and are really just living the life. (I'm not saying this is your situation).

e-hugs. I'm here to talk if you need a chat.

@tyme 

i did what I though was right by putting my children in care when they were young. At the time I was on my own with 8 children. I love them all so much . I live with that regret for the rest of my life .😢😢 It's so hard

I'm sorry to hear @Leeanne  - you did the best you could do at that time.

Perhaps when they have their own family and children (if they don't already), they may come to see that you did the best you could for them.

We cant change what has happened, but we CAN continue to hope.

You are not alone. We have all made mistakes we regret.
