[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 256895, member: 1233"] I am so sorry you are battling with this. I have wondered how you were and what was going on. I am glad you came back to us for support, I missed you. Depression is truly terrible to live with. It sounds like you are doing what you can to cope with it. If you need the hospital then it may be better for the kids to "sleep over" with neighbors while you get better than to know something is wrong and you are not happy for a long time. Kids blame themselves for everything. I am NOT saying you must go to the hospital. Just that it won't be the end of the world if you need to. Esp if you have neighbors you trust to care for them. I pray that husband has a safe tour of duty and is home safe, healthy and soon. Sending big hugs, and some duct tape for your mother in law. She clearly has no clue about depression and you need to ignore what she says. Can you tell your mother in law that you are very busy and do not have time to speak daily about this? She is welcome to talk to the kids, but you have a lot on your plate and must go about business now that you have picked yourself up by your bootstraps. Would that get her off your back for a little while? It just seems unfair to have both the depression monkey and the mother in law monkey on your back right now. Want me to come and beat the mother in law monkey off with a stick? (kidding) Gentle hugs and know we are here for you. [/QUOTE]
