This may at first, sound unrealistic or not possible but get the fu** out of there. You cannot change others, drinking and activities such as smoking and unconscious eating habits are selfish unaware conditions.
What you are trying to prevent is in the long run, better off, changed by getting out of your current environment.

Yeah... that would be my first advice to myself too...but I cannot, and the fact is it is better than my last environment because there I could rarely get any fruit and knew no one outside of my household. Also, this environment should be changing really soon, at least a good bit of it, cigarettes & alcohol, but it could be a month or more before that happens.

I should say I am working on getting out of the situation, but it will not happen before I have to develop a way of dealing with what is going on. It is likely to be quite a few months from now.

Yes getting out of there would be the best idea but I understand things aren't always that simple. Get outside with your kids as much as you can if it's ideal. Even if it's raining. You don't want them to be affrad of the rain do you? I like a bit of rain myself. Better than being surrounded by smoke and a negative atmosphere. I don't know a lot about postpartum I'm affraid. Depression issues? I'm sure there are a few people on this site that have given birth. Naturally and not so naturally. Are you eating well? All the best

How's it going MerA? This sounds like a lot of people even though they dont talk about it much- I hope things are better now. There is always stuff lie this to deal with during the holidays though..

I hope you are hanging in there!

I'm doing pretty good, somehow... I need to get out more for sure and there may still be another 2x mos. before my situation changes. I had a little breakdown and I still struggle with how to interact with those around me, but I've progressed at least a little bit.
