[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hang in there.  I feel that way sometimes, too, but much less so now than a few years ago.  The baby and toddler stages are really hard (especially when you have one of each).

My kids are now 6 and 3, and I finally feel like we can see the light.  I don't feel so stressed all the time, I actually enjoy them much of the time, we can do things like travel and eat out (sometimes), I usually sleep fairly decently at night, etc.  They are sweet together, and they're good kids.

It's okay to feel like you do, and I completely understand the sentiment, but also recognize that you're in the hardest part right now.  You do get more of your own life back as time goes on and they get older.

If you really feel like you're struggling, it might help to get see a therapist or join a group.  I found that I felt this super intensely when I had PPD -- much more than any time after I got better.  I actually dreamed of running away from my family, and I felt like I had ruined my life by having kids.  It's okay to feel it a little, but if it gets to that point, you need to get help.[/quote]

But like what kind of help? The only thing that would help is if I didn’t have to do this anymore. So the only real solution is getting divorced and giving my husband full custody.[/quote]
