Carie, I feel your pain. I have been in your shoes with these feelings before as well. I can also tell you this is not the answer. You think you are doing the world and your kids a favor but you're not. No one will ever be more important in the lives of your kids than you. I almost took my life when tragedy struck me hard. I wanted nothing more to do with this world and came close many times to saying good-bye. What stopped me was my kids and knowing what I would be doing to them. I look at my sister's kids now without their mother and they still struggle with the loss and this is 5 years later. They are acting out, failing in school, and very anti-social. I am asking you for the sake of your children to please seek help, if not for yourself then do it for them. They need their mother more than you will ever know.
Carie, if you are alone and having more of these thoughts, would you please try calling the National Suicide Prevention Hotline?

It's always worth a shot. I really really agree with what the previous comment says. No matter what your mind is telling you, there will never be any other person better to raise your children than you! Please reach out to someone.
