rock bottom

i think I have hit rock bottom, unable to feel anything anymore. I have failed my kids. the oldest was hospitalized earlier this year & diagnosed with depression & tonight I had to sign my middle son into the hospital ( he has anger issues). when I signed the oldest in I cried but tonight I just sat there completely numb, not feeling anything. Lately I feel i'm just going through the motions but not living. I don't know where to go or what to do

You have a lot to bear, I dont know what advice to give, but I feel your pain. Your sons are probably everything to you.
You have to live for them, to go through the bad and the good with them.

Courage, and warm hugs.

I read this earlier and thought I needed to think about it befor I answered it ..........I am hoping you have some help like a counclor or a phicatrist so you can talk and get everything out and noy just about your children but everything that has ever hurt you .......this is very important ........I don't think you failed you children I think you did the best you could do .........and I don't think you schould put that on your self because that will not help you and if it doesent help you it won't help your children you need to look after your self to be there for your children ........................my one son had depreshion as he was growing up and we did a lot of talking because I always had depreshion I was able to help him through his now he sometimes goes through depreshion but he gets over it his self but has mood swings and does not want to go for help because he says it just makes him lazie and he needs to work ..........my other son has bipolar and was seeing a phicatrist and went through like a corse about bipolar and we went to some of it to ......he was on meds but now looks after it with his family if his children or wife tells him he is not behaving right he listens to them and does what he needs to do to balance his self out .................I blamed my self for a long time but depreshion runs in my family on my dads side ........your children are getting help that is what they need ........you support them that is what I did for my children .... make sure they know you love them that's what they need ........you might feel like you aren't doing nothing for them but that is big for a child to know that there parents are there for them and love them unconditionally .............and take good care of your self for them to ......god bless I will keep you all in my prayers
