He was so supportive an loving our daughter doesn't know any different, he is her father.. 6 yrs later we had our son, 18 months later we had twins then 3 1/2 yrs later I had another baby boy. My husband an I have been together 12 yrs an only got married this yr. I love being a mum an doing all the motherly things but latly I feel like I want out it keeps going through my head "what have I done" I feel so depressed all the time, don't want to see anyone or talk to anyone I pick fights with my husband over stupid things..

It's time to go off to your doctor for a mental health check. Depression and anxiety can hit at any time. Plus things we haven't properly dealt with have away of popping up. You were a vet young mum, you didn't do the things that most teens do and that is bound to have an affect. And even if none if those things happen depression, anxiety etc can happen at any time anyway.
The important thing to do is to discuss with a professional as soon as possible.

it could possibly be PTSD from the statutory rape. I would suggest contacting CASA they are the most qualified to help.
