I had a friend who had her 4 th son and the following week she upped and left the whole lot. Her H moved in to his MIL who helped for the next few years.
She never came back for 12 years. when she did it was with a new guy and her 5th son.
She said that after her 4th son and the thought she could not have anymore children ( her H did not want anymore ) she said she just snapped. Like an elastic band and her only way to save herself was to leave. We know now that post natal depression is a serious illness.
She missed all those years with her 4 sons and continues to do so ans she says she never looked back.
I dont believe her. She is lying. She hurts now every day of her life and her 4 sons paid an incredible price.
There dad remarried and although the new wife was okay, she came with her own children and of course the boys were not as loved as her own.
I know you deserve happiness but I think to protect your own children you need to ALWAYS be there for them first, at least for the next few years while they find their feet.
sorry - felt like telling you that story and that it is sooooooo hot here that everyone is flocking to the beach.......
