[quote=Anonymous]I'll offer my hard-earned advice, OP. There's really only one way out of a (non-mental illness) funk: reframe your expectations. On a practical level, I think your biggest issue is the age gap with your boys. You can't ever get a good flow going with them or b/t them, so it's going to be very difficult for the four of you to feel really connected to each other for a while. Life is going to feel a little disjointed b/c it is! You have to come up with very different activities for each at the same time. It's hard. And it sucks. So stop trying.

Also, reframing the expectations for your life means you also have to accept where you are and have gratitude for what you have. I don't know anyone who is able to do that sort of perspective-taking without getting a new perspective about their lives. That is probably best achieved by doing something for someone else who is not in your family. You want some perspective-taking? Volunteer on the neurology floor at any children's hospital. I'm not kidding. I don't mean to minimize your issues, but instead to make you realize that your life can be better, quicker, b/c you are already way ahead of many.
