I know I need therapy......I have said 1000 times I am going to get therapy......and I think the only thing holding me back at this point is.....I don't want my kids to think their mom is bonkers. They have seen so much.....too much.......and I just don't know what I would tell them. And I'm a single mother and I don't know what I would do with them when I do go.

Gina, here's how my situation with therapy went down. I, actually, put my youngest daughter in therapy first. And, in talking with her therapist....I found myself loving it! So, she sent me to someone she knows....who I'm so grateful for today!!!

Anyhow, I told my children....that it isn't crazy people who go to therapy....smart people go to therapy.....others just sit and suffer or continue in their sickness.

Your kids....seeing you be committed to your mental health....and more importantly, witnessing the personal growth it will bring in you.....is a HUGE act of love you can show your children!!!! Their lives will change for the better - I promise!
