After the divorce, I was so lonely and devastated, I made some terrible choices. Including, getting engaged after knowing someone for only 6 weeks. Moving in with him almost immediately, and married to him 9 months from meeting him.

I am now in a very painful, difficult relationship with a 2 year old. I am pretty lost. I devoted my life to raising my older children, including homeschooling them. I have no marketable skills, or experience and can barely find jobs that pay minimum wage, which isn't even enough to pay for child care, let alone a home and a way to live.

I am lost, and feel no one understands me. So, I took a serious overdose, and didn't admit to it until about 4 hours after I took them. By that time I was pretty sick.

After receiving medical care, I was put in a mental health hospital for 6 days. I have now been home a week.
