Im just really tired and frustrated right now. My husband has been depressed for past couple days and he had to go off of the anxiety meds because it increased his desire to drink-weird I know. Our daughter will hardly entertain herself at all and has been very demanding of me-she doesnt do this to her father. I feel like such a bad mother because I cant handle stress and someone needing so much of me. I work full-time so I know I should want to spend time with my child and I do, but I also have responsiblitys around the house. I guess I'm just not cut out for this, but I have to be-I love my daughter and want to be a good mother. These on going problems with my husbands mental health are wearing both of us down-its a constant battle. Im going to church tomorrow to try and find spiritual support. Thanks in advance to all who pray.
Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal suebdu and her family. Touch their souls with Your compassion for others. Touch their hearts with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch their minds with Your wisdom, that their mouths may always proclaim Your praise. Teach them to reach out to You in their need, and help them to lead others to You by their example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring them health in body and spirit that they may serve You with all their strength. Touch gently this lives which You have created, now and forever. Amen.
Dear suebdu: I feel for you, I am a mother and raised 2 wonderful children, it isn't easy ,I am now a grandmother and watch my babies full time 5 days a week it's very hard work but it the best job you will ever have,First let your husband see his doctor so he can help his problem he may need a different medician,when you come home from work try doing nothing for about 45 min to an hour and sit with your child talk or play, she'll be happy and it will give you time to unwind before you jump right in to chores,they will alwasys be there,but she will grow very fast and the time you give her now of yourself will shape the women she will become,someone told me when my children were little and I was trying to be super mom, that my house should be "Clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy", and they were right every thing gets done,but she comes first,don't miss out on this special time in both your lives, you don't get them back,don't be so hard on youself enjoy your family it is a gift form our dear lord and some people wish they had it,you are very blessed.I will keep you in my prayers Good Luck,
God bless You
