[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you have family, friends, fellow congregants, a babysitter, ANYONE who can regularly care for your kids for a little while? You are in crisis. You need a break, even if it's a few hours a week.

Yes to everyone who said first of all, therapy and probably meds for you.

Then an appointment with the pediatrician: if they will let you do this, make an appt where you don't even bring them and then another one for them to be examined, or ask for a referral to a developmental pediatrician or a child psychologist/therapist.

Next a family therapist or parenting coach, ideally someone who can come to your house and see how things are and give advice.

Also, I am not saying this flippantly but there are families who would adopt your children. If you genuinely try everything above and you and your husband truly do not want to be parents or do not feel you can do so safely, you could talk with an agency like Barker or Adoptions Together about placing your children. It is not common for elementary school age kids to be privately adopted but it sometimes happens and if it becomes the best thing for everyone so be it. But that is not something to take lightly or to have as a first step.[/quote]
