Do I need to leave my family
General Support / by Pennytomato

...See more I am very mentally ill. My mom killed herself when I was 15 and I feel like my life stopped when she died. I have spent my life as an addict in so many ways but met a very nice man and had a child at 35. Since my daughter was born, I've been addicted to her. She is my air. She has always been very physically and verbally abusive toward me but I'm fairly certain i was not hard enough on her. I have no family, no support system. We have seen many therapists and psychiatrists.  She is about to turn 11. She can't stand to be near me. She is always depressed,  i'm always depressed. She tells me to go away all the time, she hates me, I'm ugly, etc. I have no idea how to be a mom.  I don't know what to do. We are all miserable. Most days I can't shower or eat.   Do I need to leave so she can live with just her dad and not be subjected to my illness?
