Dylan Gossett – Coal (Lyric Video)

I’m a single mom. My ex (their father) was extremely abusive and began physically and verbally abusing our daughter when I wasn’t home. She was only 4. We got out just 5 days before giving birth to our son. The last almost 5 years have been rough. My son has autism and he’s non verbal. He is always extremely emotional or upset. My daughter is in distress. She’s so young and can’t handle anything. School, herself, home. And I’ve tried, especially hard this past year. Therapy, psychotherapy and psychiatry for us both. She began doing well. Finally we saw the progress we worked so hard for. And then Friday at school she made threats towards herself. Crisis unit involved. Sunday I caught her with a razor making tiny slits on her arm. And I’ve done all I know how to do. I’m sitting here, laying on her while she sleeps and I know her burdens came from me. I just don’t know how to help her thrive. Medication caused drastic weight gain which killed her self esteem. All weekend I’ve been replaying this song again, just like I did last year and reading the comments. I hate that it’s so hard for so many people. I wish things could just get better, for us all. But please know I find comfort in knowing that I’m not the only one that is in these dark times. I pray we all make it through these battles. I’m rooting for us all 🫶🏼

MENsTAL Health Matters Too.. mother of my child left me 4 days ago..
I raised a 2month stepdaughter for 5years
She gave me a son he is 4years old now
We had 5years together
Lost in 2/3weeks because she didn't tell me that she lost feelings and she packed up everything and moved to her moms.. I'm currently on day 4 of existing in a new world without her… Stay Strong fellas and don't give in to the Darkness that we want to fade away into..

I’m seeing that everyone’s commenting a sad story so ima tell mine so my gf has an eating disorder and she barely eats so I was resourcing it trying to find a way to help but she had a bad day and got mad the I cried like 5 times didn’t know what to do bc I wanted to help but she didn’t want me to so I cried thinking I wasn’t doing enough and this happened today so I still think that and still don’t know how to help

You really hurt me and I’m not sure how to fix that, but I still love you. I took you off the pedestal so now what? I know you’re scared and so insecure, but I am to believe me. I’m sorry if I was too intense. I do that, but I don’t want to anymore. Anyways, I’m just sorry.
