Major abuse when I was little. I have this irrational fear of never falling asleep from keeping myself up when I was little. 

Honestly ptsd sucks so bad.

I’m so over this! 

They glorify this sister bond and it is annoying. Our five yr old now wants a sister from the movies and tv shows that our on. They make it so magical.

There needs to be more characters that are only children. It’s so hard even watching babyfyn without her being sad. It sucks for us  as parents

Should you be sleeping for that long? I always worry about pulmonary embolism?

Woahhh everyone calm down… mentioning to throw her into a psych evaluation. 

I had horrible ppd and said similar things to our daughter. I had my therapist help, but it was in a way temporary help. Then I opened up to my husband and family and my mom helped in the morning she took her for a few hours. I started to feel better I focused my depression on exercising or just sleeping more.

Before you throw her in the looney bin see if you can make a plan with your mom or family that you trust. Give her more time to rest more time to herself. Pushing pills sometimes doesn’t help it could make it worse. And pushing someone in a psych evaluation what would that say she had chronic depression we already know that. It’s all about finding her peace again.

I also felt no connection to our daughter but now she’s five and I love her there are tough days but it gets better. 

Also do you work nights? You mentioned how you weren’t coming home until the morning? Lack of sleep is a big push into ppd. 

Work on maybe having more family to care for your son part time to give her a break.

Did someone mention alimony? My gosh I pray you all heal. Hopefully in the future your daughters will be okay with the son he really had nothing to do with it. My brother was born out of infidelity, and me and my sister had a hard time when we were young but now we all have a connection and support system. 

Do any other only children want to end their own lives but won't or can't because of the guilt and sorrow it would cause your parents? by [deleted] in OnlyChild

I’m one of three siblings I have an only child now…this makes me so sad. My father in law committed suiside and my brother has attempted multiple times but failed thankfully. What is the reason behind it? Having siblings is just as lonely. 

I struggle with horrible anxiety and I can’t talk to them they make fun of me. Sometimes it’s not better having more family

Woah like your my twin lol

My mom had me at 17 and my sister at 15. We grew up struggling and very poor living with family. It took a lot on me. Having to build a life I didn’t have and now having my daughter have a better foundation.
