| I am a mom of two boys 3 and 1 and i had a miscarriage between them that shook my world. I haven't gotten over depression, and it is only getting worse. This past weekend i had a family altercation that has caused me to have nightmares and not be able to sleep. I was wondering if any one had any advice that could possibly help? |

Maybe you should talk to your pediatrician or family doctor and tell them how you are feeling and you or you could go talk to a counselor for yourself. it might make you feel better. Please don't be afraid to get the help you need, you will only feel better.

| I have talked to my doctor and see put my on medication which is workin great, and I have also been to a counselor and that didn't help very much. The reason it is getting worse is becaus eof all the stress that i am under concerning my in-laws. I am not sure how to handle that. |

Sweetie, if you can, make your husband handle his family. It is his responsibility. You have no blood link to them beside your babies. He is the blood link and should be able to handle any situation that arises. Your only focus is those beautiful babies. Try talking to your husband and let him know that you are having nightmares and you haven't been able to sleep and could he please handle this family issue for you while you rest and build your strength for your family.
If this altercation has hurt one of your children or is against the law, contact law enforcement immediately and let them handle it.
Best wishes to you.
Hugs,

| Thank you for your replys , but i have done all of that already. I don't want o press charges, so we are only letting his mom see the boys but it sounds llike if his dad can't see them than she won't either. I am confused, but i believe that i am protecting my children by not letting him around them. |

| That is your first priority. Protecting your children!! Be proud of being a good Mom who cares enough to protect them. I know it is difficult but you have to remember that is your first priority to your children. It is your responsibility to protect your children for they can't protect themselves right now. If you feel what you are doing is right then it is RIGHT, PERIOD THE END!! You are a good Mother. |
