Nikki, I most definitely know how you feel. And I know that you think it will never be better, and that this is it, this is how your entire life will be. But believe me, I used to feel the same way, and you will continue to feel like this, until you decide you really don't want to anymore. I tried a few different times to commit suicide. One landed me in the hospital, where I had to have my stomach pumped, and then the hospital had me baker acted so I was in the psych ward for 4 days. I learned a lot there, they scared the hell out of me. Not only was it the scariest place I had ever been, but it was the cruelest. The nurses don't give a damn whop you are or what you think, you are just another brat they have to attend to. They taught me what a selfish brat I was being and how much I had to appreciate. When my mom came to visit I bawled my eyes out and was so thankful I had her. I got out and we got into it again, because I hadn't really learned a damn thing, except that eventually, things always go my way if I manipulate the situation just right. But thats not how life goes. You don't always get your way. I got my mom to let me move to kentucky with my grandparents. I ended up getting pregnant, and I begged her to let me move back. Of course she did. So I was still the same spoiled brat getting my way. Dewitt said he was going to be there for me and the baby and all those other great things, and when he wasn't, it broke my heart. This was pretty much the first time in my life that someone wasn't doing exactly what I wanted them too. So I do have him to thank for making me that much smarter. But what I am trying to say is, things are not always going to go your way. But I was in really bad shape, I got pregnant just a little over a month after I got out of the hospital. I was really depressed thinking I couldn't raise a baby and I couldn't be a mom and I just wasn't good enough for any of it, I made myself good enough. You are only as valuable as you think you are nikki. I think you are a great mom. But you are going to feel this way until you decide you want to feel different. I know you think you want to feel different, but deep down there somewhere, you just want to be upset and feel sorry for yourself for a while, and I do it too, I don't know a person who doesn't. But that will pass, then you have to decide if you want to be depressed and sulk, or if you want to get out there and work your ass off and give life a meaning. I wish I could get a job so I could support myself and my son, because sometimes, I honestly feel useless. And I feel really depressed sometimes too. Wondering how I went from being the parents little princess who got everything, to a single mom who has to work for her f-ing dignity. I get sick of people looking down on me saying im too young to do a good job being a mom because I dont know any better. And I bet you are too, so go out there, find a job and prove thos assholes wrong nikki. I know you can do it sweetie! Sorry if I babbled, but this is a bit of a pick-me-up for me also. I love you hun and I am here if you need to talk.
