(((HUGS)))) So often we are so busy taking care of others that they don't realize that we need a bit of taking care of as well. It's not self-seeking or selfish in any way. It is nice to know that you are doing so much and that they find a way to say "Thank you"
Thank you are two of the most powerful words that can ever be said. It can be the difference between continuing on so completely worn out, burnt out and finding that extra oomph to continue on.
You are doing great. Managing sobriety, a family, and your own self-care is an incredible feat. It may not mean much coming from those of us here on SR who aren't in your immediate life, but Thank you for what you do and you are valuable.
