I understand the anxiety you are feeling.

I would like to share advice that my friend (a trained social worker) offered to me when I was trying to be the strong parent at all costs.

She reminded me it was okay to let my children hear and see my crying. It's okay to let my children know that adults hurt too. It's okay to let them know we have feelings and sometimes we are moved to tears.

Sending you encouragement and support as you continue your recovery journey!
