Q: Yes I Regret Having My Kids..... But There Is a Reason

I never said I dont love my kids....... So to call me a bad mother and to say that I don't deserve to have my kids is wrong....... I said I regretted having my kids at a young age, as I was not physically or emotionally prepaired.........

I have post natal depression, guess what....... Its caused by having babies........ It took 3 years for it to be diagnosed....... And the whole time I suffered and my children suffered, and I believe that if I had have had them later in life I may not have suffered pnd or if I did I would have been adult enough to seek help earlier......... Every day is a struggle for me, many of you will not understand what it is like but some of you will, I cry for no reason, I am distant and often times unefectionate towards my children and some times I am down right nasty, even though I dont want to be like that........ For years I didn't understand why.......... So if you have a problem with me saying I regret having my children....... Spend a day in my shoes........ But thats the way my life is.............

Do you know what its like to know the only thing that keeps you alive is the thing that makes you want to die........... Untill you do back off!!!!!!!!!

You know, a good thing to learn in life is to not care what people think about you.

You love your kids and know you do, you know. That's all that matters.

You don't tell your children that you regret them, but they may be able to sense it. Regret is a strong emotion. You say you weren't emotionally or physically prepared, but how do you know you would ever be? Did you truly ever want kids? If you love your kids, could you possibly have someone else take care of them until you ARE ready?
