Dear Friends,
I am here asking for your prayers. I am really at the end of my rope. Maybe it is a combination of burnout meets postpartum depression, I don't know. But nothing is right.
I am so desperately trying to "count my blessings". I can't stand people who feel sorry for themselves. But here I am, wallowing in it all. I look at pictures of happier times. There has always been the mess, the debt, the inconsistent homeschooling, but there were snatches of joy, and there was commitment to this way of life. Now there is only doubt.Somewhere along the way I gave up, it all became too much. I don't know how to get back to the place where I could smile at a child or welcome my dh home to a warm, happy home.
Thank you for listening.
