Your sensitivity to life’s fragility is understandable, but there are ways to help yourself live more in the present

I am a mum of three, but one of my children died as a baby. The other two are now 34 and 29 and because I think I have been subconsciously trying to keep them alive ever since, I have become their go-to support, emotionally , financially and physically .

depressants even before my twins were born because I had a difficult childhood and lost both parents at a very young age, but was determined to overcome depression without drugs because of the side-effects, but now I feel pretty much broken. How can I change and deal with this?I feel so much for that young girl who lost her parents, and that vulnerable young part of you seems to exist within you still. I expect any sort of normal sense of security was stolen from you then.

Unless you are disempowering your adult children with your help, because you are doing things for them they could easily do for themselves, then the very loving and close supportive relationships you have with each of them is doing them and you no harm and probably a lot of good. And if your husband is a bit jealous that you care so much for your children, I think he should count himself lucky that he is married to such a loving soul.

Why Putin can’t give up on his losing warIt’s hard to see a tactical or strategic reason for Putin’s campaign to plunge Ukrainians into a frigid, benighted winter. It will make a hard life even harder, but it won’t sap their will. No credible expert, and I mean NO credible expert thinks Russia will be 'put back in its box'. What a ridiculous article. Ukraine is bankrupt. 100% relying on charity. Europe has 'Ukraine fatigue'. Russia has mobilised and the Ukrainian electricity system is cactus. Oh dear.. He wants to die. It's odd that, unlike the US, that attacks and destroys civilian infrastructure in its very first move when invading countries, Russia has left almost six months before doing this.

Party of Menzies must aspire to home ownershipOPINION: Victorian Liberals aren’t just losing the temporary politics of elections, they’re losing a structural constituency to vote for them. Too little too late. Wilson is crying over the very policies the liberals spend 20 years implementing. You made this bed, get comfy. In all fairness, this is a much more coherent and logical plan for the vic libs to regain power than the sky news proscription: “Move right! Move right! More culture wars!”
