I heard about these forums on the radio. I battled the stigma of mental illness for years. I never wanted to admit anything because I was fearful about having a child and my chart highlighting depression. My youngest are now 5 yo. My husband has left me. I hate admitting any kind of shortcoming but I finally recognise I need some sort of support or I will fail my children

Young 2 & 5 year old children are beautiful, loving and simple. They can see a lot.
You are both an inspiration.
