[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1886466, member: 451727"] Hi Catherine, all I can say is at least you recognise what is going on so please get some help, it sounds like you are depressed and who could blame you with all that is going on. Your logical mind is telling you what you are doing is harmful but depression takes no notice of logic, you need professional help. As for your daughter, as I am sure you know, children are not daft. She will have picked up on atmosphere and will know things are wrong with you and your poor husband. If you can just get some help for YOU at this time I am convinced your daughter's 'naughtiness' will reduce. In an unhappy household everybody suffers. I know medication is not always the answer but sometimes it can help short term. I see lots of people struggling in my job and there is a lot of 'why don't they just do this or that, or pull themselves together' etc, fact is depression is an ILLNESS of the mind. One more thought, I am betting that you are trying to protect your daughter from all of this by telling her everything is fine, she knows it's not, would you be prepared to talk to her in an age appropriate way, that can sometimes help. Wishing you all the best love. xxx [/QUOTE]
