Is there a way for you to change the situation somehow but still be a mother to your children? Or is your issue wanting to leave your kids?

My wife did this when our youngest was not even 2. She is 14 and still hates her mother. If you decide to do this, don't start b****ing when later in life your children think you are scum.

My mother left me when I was 2. I wish I had a penny for every time that I cried. I grew up resentful and unable to trust anyone. Into adulthood I stayed depressed and became over weight. At 32 I still wonder why, it still hurts. I have been a police officer for five years now, while all my older siblings have amounted to nothing, in and out of jail. I didn't have control over ANYthing when my mother left me, now I feel like I have to be in control of everything because of that. Try to work things out, life is never easy and you will be hanging a dark cloud over the heads of your children for the rest of their lives. Your problems are not their fault, they are only little once and when they are grown you can't take it back.

^^100% true. Starting over starts right here right now. Not in another place. It begins inside of you. You had your childhood don't take theirs from them.

After reading your secret, it feels like I wrote it, lol. I guess a lot of us feel that way.

I also feel that way sometimes. I think it's ok to have the thought, but don't act on it. What everone said about messing your children up is true. I'm sure like me your children come first, so I think of all the good times and love I get from my son when I feel that way. My problem is my husband. If that's your, then leave him! Not your children!

I left my boys' ex when they were 11 & 13. Now 10 yrs later we don't have a relationship and it's my fault. I have a little girl now who loves me like no other. I still miss my boys and am sad everyday for the loss. Stay with your kids until they grow up. You may think you're starting over but you will be sad and lonely nonetheless. I know.

Sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed @ times.Find a hobby(ies) you enjoy.Take some time each week for just you.My 5 kids are everything to me, but Mommies need a little selfish time , even if it's just a soak in the bath with some calgon, music playing, candles lit and the door locked.
