[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 551081, member: 13542"] I am so sorry you are feeling the way you do. First of all, the mother of 4 kids who are perfect children would feel similar to the way you do, raising kids is a difficult job, and when you add no support and an unfaithful husband you have a recipe for all the feelings of resentment and anger and sadness that you're feeling. Do you have a counselor or a therapist you can talk to? Anger is a natural reaction to what you are facing and it's also a symptom of depression, so it may be prudent to get the advice of a trained professional to first see if you have something other then ADHD and anxiety. I think anger is a stage of grief but it doesn't have to be. Although I think sometimes it's easier for folks to access anger then it is to allow the real sorrow to surface. I would certainly feel anger in your shoes, but I would also feel a lot of grief as well. The thing about feelings, particularly grief is that if those feelings aren't expressed, they continue to plague you. Without support in your life, without anyone who can have empathy, understanding, compassion and caring for you, you are isolated, and you are, in fact isolating yourself. These appear to be symptoms of a larger issue, I think it would be a good idea for you to seek help. Once you can talk it through with someone, you can begin to address your options for feeling better. I wish I could reach across cyberspace and give you a big hug, you really seem to need some kindness and nurturing now, and you certainly deserve that. Parenting is a tough job, and you have kids who are challenging, I wish you had more support and people around you who could help with the kids and be supportive of you, caring of you and understand all that you have on your plate. I hope you can find a therapist who can help you, for me, that would be the next step and from there, the life you really do want can begin to emerge. ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
