[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 345249, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkslateblue]Hmmm, I wasn't happy in my marriage and I knew that it was just a matter of time before I would be alone with two children. I would not say that I was depressed, but we did go through a lot of heartache and trials (car was repossessed, I was housebound, reliant on friends, had no family for support nearby, no real intimacy in my marriage, hit up the church for food, felt trapped). on the other hand, I was thrilled to death with easy child as a toddler and had fun with her. My pregnancy with difficult child was smooth and easy up until the end, when she wouldn't turn and instead of having her at home with a midwife and had her under general anesthesia in the hospital by c-section. So, afterwards, I did go through a hard time with depression.
