I give up never going to be happy

@Former-Member what a detestable woman she was to come out and say such a thing to a stranger!! or anyone for that matter. Treat it with the disdain it deserves and give yourself a pat on the back for being a beautiful, caring person that you are and even more so a fantastic mother. BabyDragon you are doing a great job no one is perfect (believe me no one knows more than me ....) kids are resilient. You do your best your child will be fine particularly if mum looks after herself too don't forget xxxx:)

@Former-Member I'm sorry you had this horrible experience while out shopping with your friend. You know so much more about you and your situation than that lady does. Please keep in mind all the wonderful things you have to offer people, just like you do here on the forums.

Hi @Jupiter and @Bunniekins,

I get what you are saying but to be honest I feel like all the wonderful people here help me more than I help them I mostly seek help, and outside of forums I can count on one hand the people who appreciate what I do for them and most of them are not family everyone else tells me that I don't do enough

I find your writing/poems very insightful @Former-Member

Thankyou @Jupiter but honestly it's just releasing my feelings and writing what I can remember as some of my trauma is only remembered in pieces.

oh, @Former-Member, my thoughts are with you.

I don't have children but am constantly amazed by the insensitive and cruel comments that some people make to people who do have children. I think that parents have one of the most difficult jobs ever, to raise children, and especially parents who are struggling with mental health issues or other medical issues, so the comments made are way out of line.

You are struggling at the moment but you are worthy of your little boy. Your child needs you and you are doing the best you can. He is lucky to have such a kind and caring parent.

PS: Apologies, I thought your friend made the comment.

All goods @NatalieS, I never saw your original post I have only seen this one and yes it is hard when a complete stranger says things like that but it's harder knowing that if a person who doesn't understand my situation can say that what do the people who do and don't think I try hard enough say
