dr, i feel like to put and end to this life, i have nobody to share my feelings. in a way i can t open up to any one. i am a married woman and have a 2 year old daughter too. i had an affair before my marriage and continued after the marriage too, he is the father of my daughter. i feel so ashamed of myself of being a person like this. now i came to know that i was just one girl friend among a few for him, i loved him so much and because of that i always kept a distance with my husband and now that distance is more than the distance between the sky and the earth. now i am in a great dilemma, my daughter, i can t leave her alone, but i don t have the guds to take her life but i don t want to live in this world anymore. always praying to God to take my life along with my daughter.
