I know it's only been a few weeks, and it's a process, and I have a list of things to do, but I'm struggling with accepting this newfound freedom. Sounds crazy, doesn't it?
This morning, for some reason, this is how I feel..waiting for the other shoe to drop. I gues it's like you stated Kuan, after all the simple reacting, I feel overwhelmed at times taking care of just me, because it is so new.
What's different today is I tell myself that I will be OK, no matter what.
We Moms must remember the inner strength we have always possessed. It has allowed us to move mountains for others. I keep that thought in my head as I face all this newness. HOwever, I still need much support which I gather mostly from here. I've learned not to try to do it solo anymore.
Huggs to all,
Hope
