'I love my children. I hate my life.' Do you agree?

No. Having kids is hard, but the joy they bring is immeasurable.

• Was terrified of kids. Parenting initially hard but got better. Lots of challenges, but turned out to be much more a pleasure than dreame

• Dave, you've probably heard this before, but perhaps you had the wrong therapy. I know many people who survived serious childhood abuse and lived with flashbacks who have recovered with the right therapy. Some were even suicidal or practiced self harm.

• For Cool in Scottsdale... First of all, I think it's time to knock off the judgemental remarks-don't you think she's had enough! At least you (Cool) were honest. I can't say that parenting was easy for me, nor can I say that I was the best mother in the world.

• Tammy, I totally understand. I just don't think putting down Cool any more is going to help her. She's obviously in pain and in need of help, and I pray she gets it for herself and her child.
