    I think every single parent gets down and stressed out and maybe has thoughts like that but would never act on them. yes it is very hard being a single parent, but i think you would really be down and "panicky" if you just walked out on ur kids.. hang in there itll get better.. maybe try talking to other single parents. Kids need there moms!

    You will not be voted Mother of the Year, and many people (including me) take a dim view of this in general, but it takes a fair amount of courage to admit you're overwhelmed and need help, just make sure that whatever you do is done keeping their safety and well-being firmly established before you take off to heal. Hey....it happens. Better this than driving them off of a bridge into a river. When you need help ask for it. If no one seems to be listening, ask them again....louder, if necessary. Good luck.

    When your kids ask you later , Mommy, why did you leave us? You will regret this for the rest of your life. Go to joycemeyer.org. Watch some of the online videos. This will give you clarity and you wont be alone anymore.

    You've got to remember that no matter how bad you think you may be for your kids, they NEED you and always will. It would be so selfish of you to leave them and expect them to live their lives without a mother. You can't pretend that it wouldn't affect them. You've got to straighten your life out and be there for them, because they have no one else.

    A mother should NEVER leave her kids. Get to the doctor and get yourself on antidepressants if you feel that bad!

    Don't leave your children. Even though things are going on that doesn't mean you should leave your children. they will grow up without you being there to watch them grow. if you leave your children will be angry with you and every time you go to visit them they will be angry so i don't think you should leave your children
