โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are in 2023. It was the kids every other weekend and I couldn't see past it. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
โFor anyone new to this: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. Telling his parents, every single day. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back.โ
โA note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. I remember a lawyer's bill like it was yesterday. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I foregt to be sad. I went to counselling on my own and it helped me more than couples counselling did. Go slowly.โ
