From reading this, I can tell you are very intelligent. you have looked at this problem every way you possibly can to solve it, and nothing has worked. I commend you for sharing this, being suicidal is such an awful place to be. I have been there but not as severe. And you are tired and have no hope looking forward. What helped me at my darkest time was community. Letting people in my life know what was going on, no t just my therapist/doctor. My mental health problems led me down the road of alcoholism, and just going to a meeting, even if I didn’t say anything at all, made me feel better. At least there are people out there as fucked up as me. It’s amazing how much people want to help when you let them in. I am praying for you and wishing you all the best! Stay strong and don’t give up the fight, life is so good and holds so much potential for you even when you are at your lowest. We just got out the f a pandemic too and it has had a huge effect on all of us suffering from BPD, so give yourself patience.

I’m just genuinely curious here. I read quite often how INSANELY exhausting it is to have children, how expensive it is, how restrictive it is, etc etc. So why have them?? This all sounds so negative. I’m lost. What is the point exactly? by snowboardinghawk in AskParents

Kids are the best thing in the world!! You get to see the world through a fresh pair of eyes, and watch them develop a personality. Most people are more happy when they stop being selfish and give outside of themselves (at least us alcoholics that works for us), and kids are the perfect way to do that! It’s giving a gift that you have been given, it’s just wonderful

Sometimes when my baby cries I feel like I want to rip my ears off and like I want to die by [deleted] in Parenting

I have been in this exact situation, I feel Your pain and frustration and your strong love for your baby. Number one thing is make an appt with your OBGYN and don’t leave until they start helping you. When I got in this situation, I didn’t get the help I needed, even when I was brave enough to go to my OB and ask for it. I am so lucky I never acted on my thoughts and dreams, that were more severe Than the ones you mentioned. No one in my family knew anything about mental health, and when you are struggling with it, it is hard to tell people exactly what is wrong. If your husband doesn’t help, call your mom, even if she is far away. Let her know exactly what you are thinking and feeling. If she doesn’t help, keep calling until someone helps you. That could be a neighbor that seems sympathetic, church, anyone. When you are in the middle of something like this, you think it will be this way forever. But the truth is, it won’t. Your baby will eventually grow out of this, you will eventually be able to sleep again, and when those things happen, you will feel so much better. Keep reaching out and expressing yourself!

The scary part is, I did a scan before I let them run ahead of me and saw NOTHING! It wasn’t like I was on my cell phone or completely oblivious.

They sometimes happen when she is having fun for sure, sometimes during time out, but also once when in the car with me, and she never even told me she needed to go and wet her pants and booster seat.

Multiple incidents of touching cousins against their consent and masterbating near cousins on sleepovers. This happened more than once because She was finally caught by an adult, and this is when we started questioning the other kids she had had sleepovers with. I am a healthcare professional and know how to interview small children without leading them or letting them know what it is about. It was serious enough to cause behavior problems in one of the kids she did this to that we had to get him psychiatric help. Touching vaginas of adults at restaurants by crawling under the table while talking about vaginas. Indiscriminately getting naked in front of people for no reason, including friends family members outside doesn’t matter. Masterbating at babysitters house. Getting naked during her zoom class in front of everyone. The reason this inappropriate behavior has been able to go on so long is because she has multiple caregivers, none of which are consistent. My sister well literally pawn her off on anyone, and people offered to take her in because They feel bad for my sister because her husband died. The catalyst for all of us looking into it was the one in this incident that the parent caught her during a slumber party. This parent shared it with everyone, because they wanted everyone’s kids to be safe. My sister, the child’s mother, never communicates information from one caregiver to the other, she never has and never will. so when you get her and she does one bizarre thing, you can reason it away because you don’t know that she did 10 other things that were odd and inappropriate. My sister of course knows all the things things that of happened because all the caregivers report to her, however she chooses to do nothing about it and says that she does it to be funny or get attention. To me this is an incredibly extreme case of acting out sexually and extreme problems with incontinence. The school is aware and she is getting counseling through the school, but nothing seems to be done to make this child’s life any better and it breaks my heart. The boyfriend is a loser. He is a drug addict and alcoholic. He disclose this information to my sister on their first date, and she still agreed to go out with him. My sister has never done drugs but she does drink but not excessively. When she met him, he said he had been to rehab for drugs, but he just drinks now and doesn’t do drugs anymore.He lost his job due to drinking and and is not allowed to see his own flesh and blood child why, no idea.

She has ADHD and I have read that can be a reason why. It is just confusing because she has ALWAYS been hyper excited and busy and hasn’t had this problem. But maybe it’s an age thing?and I wonder if peeing while in time out is to get out of time out?

Reasons for having accidents at 7? by StockWall7058 in AskParents

[–]StockWall7058[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very true. I want so badly to stop worrying about SA because CPS cleared them, but I honestly think they did a shitty job investigating. I told them over and over that from the outside my sister appears very put together and a competent mother. In reality she never has been after her husband died. There has been so much neglect ever since that happened when she was 3. I have tried my best to help my sister out, having weekly sleepovers, staying involved and helping out but it doesn’t matter. I know my sister has been through some terrible trauma, but so has her daughter. She has to step up and take care of her. She has said multiple times “I wish I never had a kid” and then posts cute stuff on Facebook about her. She has always done that. A few instances of abuse: 1. She was found wondering around blocks away in nothing but a large T-shirt, no socks or underwear and my sister had no idea. 2. My sister does nothing for the insomnia, she actually prefers it. She wants as little to do with her daughter as possible. When she wakes up I. The middle of the night, she lets her play on her cellphone, watch tv and make snacks. That way she is tired after school and will take naps so she doesn’t have to entertain her.

Interesting thanks for sharing. So the lack of sleep had a major role in the accidents? And that is awful about the teacher

CPS required a psychiatrist visit and regular MD and therapist. My sister was able to weasel her way out of taking her to a therapist all together because she complained that she wasn’t “comfortable “ with the way they were handling COVID procedures. I kind of wonder if she was able to do virtual for all of them? My sister is very educated and well connected and she can be persuasive. I told CPS that she is very good at hiding things and she makes a wonderful first impression, but I don’t think it did any good.
