Hi Erinn - Itried to reply to your other post on difficult daughter but it just didnt post. grrrr! I sympathise hugely with you and understand what youre going through. As for that little not-sleeping girl...my son was just the same. It DOES get better, he did after 5-6 months and I didnt have to carry him around 24/7...hes 18 months now and I make him race round the garden all day - he sleeps well now!

repeat after me....IT WILL GET BETTER...IT WILL GET BETTER...

Hugs from me in the UK.xx

I can relate - my husband has been looking for work for several months now and I have an exhausting day job as well as being mom and Partylite leader.



I don't want to sound cliche' but I truly believe that God has a purpose for you through these challenges. It may not necessarily be a lesson for you entirely, but also a message to others about strength, tenacity, and family coming together.

If possible, take 5-10 minutes to yourself and shut out the world. Maybe hubby can take the kids to the park. Silence your mind and look into your heart. "Let Go - Let God!" Do this at least a few times a week to get mental clarity.

Also take time with you hubby and look at the blessings in your life. It is hard, but even acknowledging that you are grateful for his love will make a difference in your mental space.



Take each day as it comes =) You will be okay!

Hang in there, I am also 30 and a mother of two, my daughter is 5 and my son 18 months. I was laid off last November and now I'm a stay at home mom, fortunately my husband is working and supporting us. I know how you feel about not knowing what you enjoy and who you are, but just keep telling yourself you are a mom, a strong woman who loves your family. Reach out to your family and friends and don't be ashamed to take help wherever you can get it. Pray hard and hope things work out for your family. By the way your kids are beautiful.

I would recommend finding a therapist!!! There is something going on and needs to be addressed!

That is the best help you can get now
