And I can relate to the 'behaviour of your child' thing, for sure - it totally doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong, sometimes kids can't handle their emotions and so you get outbursts and outbreaks and such like.<br /><br />I try to fence off a bit of 'me' time when I need to settle my mind.

I know the feeling as I have been there before. Even though my child is grown and moved out now (so I don't have near the load that you do) I still have lots of stuff going on in my head. My answer is yoga and a morning walk. I know it would be a real challenge for you to take this time for yourself, but I promise it will help you cope with all the other stuff going on.<br /><br />Know that this "now" is temporary and you will get through it! Somehow. Someway. In the meantime, I'll be thinking of you and sending you calm thoughts... xoDeb @ PaperTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957816023851249171noreply@blogger.com
