I feel very useless

I was in a car accident 3 weeks ago and my neck is still sore everyday. I am a working mom and I hate my job so bad. I don't have too much energy when I got home everyday. Since I don't feel well, DH and my mother are taking care of the twins these days. Maybe they don't spend enough time with me, they prefer DH and my mother to take care of them when I offer to help them. I feel very heart broken. My kids do not need me and I don't have the ability to take care of them. I feel very depressing recently.

 

:hug:' s Momma. I'm sorry this is all going on, but you need to take care of yourself and get yourself back to feeling good. It's not fun to feel that the kids prefer someone else {even daddy} over you, but they DO need you. I promise you they do. :hug: I know my two pick up on me not feeling well or if I'm down about things, and they tend to keep their distance at that time. ardon: I hope you know that they really do love you, this is a short period of time in the grand scheme of things. Hopefully soon you'll feel better {maybe find a new job} and then you'll go back to spending more time with them. :hug:

 

It's okay that you aren't 100%, you had an accident, you can't help that. Don't be so hard on yourself, you ARE needed by your children, you are entitled to heal and get better though. Take this time to catch up on some sleep or reading or something for yourself. It also sounds like you might be having some depression issues, maybe you should talk to your doctor about that? I'm sending ((((get well vibes))))) your way and hoping you are feeling like your old self soon.

 

:hug: I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this!!! Do what you can - maybe you can read to them or something! They'll love that. You can sing itsy bitsy spider and stuff. Try to have some fun with them when you can. In the meantime, talk to a doctor about the depression!!! I'm SO SO SO VERY VERY SORRY!!! I can only imagine how heartbreaking that is for you!! I hope this passes quickly!!! (More quickly!)
