It's VERY difficult...keep a calm head when talking to them, but also I see a counselor & a psychiatrist. Not my perfect set up, but it helps ALOT. Bcuz of course, u can't tell ur children everything ur thinking/feeling when it arises. Must admit tho, have been 2 the psych ward numerous times, bcuz 1 I thot I couldnt make it thru another day & 2 just to be away from all that family-life. Growing up sucks...especially when u have a family & think about suicide & death, or just hitting a tree when driving, and ending it all rite there
