I’m a mother of four, two 19yr olds (twins) 21 yrs old, 23 yr old. All living at home. I work full time with a very controlling supervisor and have been married for 29 yrs. I was married during my junior year of high school. Husband although a good man, is very high strung and high maintenance. My life is very stressful. I feel like I’m going to have a nervous breakdown and often think about killing myself, but I’m too afraid. Money…who isn’t having money issues these days? I hate life most of the time. I can’t deal with it anymore. Is this normal?

    sounds super stressful, post a roster for the kids to do all the housework, take time for yourself, go out have a drink or coffee to unwind before you come home from work.
    if your husband can cook get him to make dinner, if he cant, get the kids to do that too.
    Have a sit down with your husband and discuss both your worries and make a list of things that need changing, tick them off one by one

      I agree. You are busy. Delegate what must be done at home among those who live in your home. That's how life worked for me until I moved out on my own at 21. Hopefully changing the things you can control will help give you some peace and maybe even a little bit of time to do something for yourself that you find relaxing.

      Devilla said the same thing I was going to say. It sounds like you need support from your family.
