Introducing myself

Hello 👋 I am new to the forums. I have depression. I had childhood depression in year one and my mum fixed it for me. She’s always been there for me.

Injave fournchildren And did itnprwttybtough for a lot of years with the father of three of my children cheating lying and stealing for ten years we were together.

I met a new man after we split and I am now married to him.

My eldest daughter has a daughter And today I ‘broke up’ with my daughter and I’m so afraid I won’t see my grand daughter again. 😞 I have a support around me which is good but I just cannot get horrible thoughts from my head .

i am hoping I can be helped as well as maybe help others here.

thank you for offering a safe place to get extra support - sometimes a stranger is more helpful than a friend

hello Muru, I'm so sorry to find out that your previous husband was unfaithful, let alone steal any money you may have had, I realise that this must have been going for a long period of time, but pleased you are married again.
As parents it's often we say something to our kids that they take offence to, simply because they disagree and want to do everything their own way, whether they are right or wrong they need to find out on their own, but it doesn't mean that she won't be touch with you in the future, no matter how cross she may have been.
The same has happened to me with either son, but I let it run for a few days or you might decide to let it go for a few weeks, but contact them for just a brief conversation, 'hello how are you and are the kids OK', then leave it for a while before you contact her again.
She maybe looking for a babysitter, but because you had a fall out doesn't mean forever.
Let me know if I'm way of line here. Geoff.
