Sleeping on the couch all day is a sign of depression. I agree w/Bklyn, it's time to seek some outside help w/the children, if you have family near by, I would ask them. Maybe work some kind of deal w/other mothers in the area for play dates, etc.
The mlcer is unable to help himself/herself, therefore they can't help anyone else. It's true, they need to themselves together before they can become reliable and help others.
So, what are your plans for today?
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
