I have been there when my adult children were small. They are what kept me going.  I knew they needed me even if I was't always at my best.  Trust me there is know one like your Mom.  As adults, my children still don't understand and question me about going to a therapist.  I even have one that  doesn't bring his children around to see me because of my depression.  That is really hard on me since I love them so much.  What has helped me more then anything is my Bible Study group and praying.  There are only 4 of us in the group and they accept me as I am.  So does my husband who has been beside me all the way even if he sometimes dosent really understand...
