I left an abusive marriage however my 3 boys the youngest was 15 at the time stayed with their dad. He is from a different culture and they are infuenced by him. They won't speak to me. That was nearly 2 yrs ago and I live with my partner who is wonderful to me. But I can't get over my kids. My eldest son is 20 and is in prison for assaulting my partner. I had such a difficult life in my marriage where I was constantly put down by my husband and two elder sons. But I feel so guilty particularly about the youngest who is 17 now. I feel suicidal all the time. I just qualified as a social worker from uni and have a part time job. I am struggling to keep it all together. I can't get over not being with my kids and can't see the point in life anymore. I just carry on like a robot but I can see the soon I will no longer keep it together and will loose my partber and my job. I am new here. If anyone has had any similar experiences or has had a loss I would like to hear from you

I think it would be so hard for your parents as well to loss their grandchildren.
Perhaps talking may help everyone heal some maybe family councilling with a therapist may help too hun. I am glad you feel safe to talk here and i hope you continue to talk okay and know noone will judge you Even if you write letters to your children and keep them you will have said what was in your heart and when they eventually get to read them they will see the words you wanted to say to them hugs

Thank you for your reply. My parents still have some contact with my eldest boy but not the others. I don't think they would participate in family therapy but I think writing letters is a good idea. Everytime I try to do anything like that though I have so much pain and so much guilt. No one can judge me more than I judge myself because the guilt and pain is unbearable for me. I wish I had never left but the situation was unbearable for me. I really appreciate your support. Thanks
