The worst feeling you can have is knowing you can’t leave this world because you have children. I couldn’t leave them here to fend for themselves . I’ll have to live this life out. And I’m tired.

I don’t encourage suicide. But I do encourage options. Maybe reading The Awakening will give you the courage to end?

I’ve struggled with this issue for may years. I applaud you for remaining steadfast; it breaks my heart to know intimately of the kind of pain you feel.
People tell us love can make all the difference. We know our kids love us and need us. Yet, even as powerful as that can be it doesn’t always sufficiently combat our pain and the agony we feel every day. It might even be painful for you to look into the eyes of your children but one thing I would encourage you to do is to tell your kids once every day that you love them. And if you already do tell them every day, try telling them while imagining what they would feel if they told you they loved you. Tell them you love them so deeply you would give your life for them because that is what you in fact do every day.
If you internalize the love they have for you it might start to chip away at the pain. The heart of a child is a very powerful thing.

Thank you for your responses, they made me cry. And yes since I could never leave them I should start in fact “living for them”, it’s a struggle everyday and I feel so guilty for these thoughts I have. I feel selfish. Treading forward..
