It's okay to put yourself first in this equation. If you cancel plans, if you go forward with them, whatever is best for YOU is truly what's healthiest for your child.
Kids are resilient and it's okay for them to not like our decisions. We don't have the right to change or manipulate their feelings. We do have every right to keep them in safe environments. Sometimes that can include an ill parent. Sometimes it doesn't.
May you have a very merry Christmas, however the plans shake out!

Hi Nata!
My words are coming back to me today, as I feel my gut instinct push me outside my comfort zone yet again and do something radically different for Christmas this year -- put myself first.
As I've heard, "all the joy and happiness I'll ever want is right outside my comfort zone."
How are you doing today? (((Hugs)))
