Thanks Shannon,
What you're hearing at home and what I'm hearing seem to be very similar. I am not so much bothered by what they're saying as much as I am bothered by the fact that I can't just make it not hurt for them.. you know?
I've felt pretty good/strong myself lately and maybe that's why I've been caught off guard by D3... I think that I used to always chalk up the girls being stressed to being my fault (like you said, feeding off of the vibes we give off). So perhaps I naively thought that if I had it more together that would eliminate some of their stress.
One area I need to work lots more on is not catastrophizing things. Right now things are rocky one minute and fine the next with the girls and I need to learn to roll with the punches better....
Thanks for your thoughts/words. And I'm keeping you and your kids in mine as well.
Any news on the house? Did the couple that was really interested take any action to move fwd?
