Hello I'm Kirstie's mum. You might have picked up from her that I have a problem with getting really down and depressed - but then maybe not, since she doesn't like to tell people. No-one really knows what causes it, I just wake up some days and I can feel it coming, then a few days later it's like a great big weight just dragging me down. I can't see the point in anything, even getting out of bed, and even though I know it's really unfair on Kirstie I can't help it - I really can't - believe me I'd do anything for her not to have to have a mum like me. I've asked her if she wants to live with her dad but she won't even think about it - she says she wants to stay with me. The truth is I'm glad about that - I don't know what I'd do without her.
