โI was in the same place this time last year. My mum helps on Thursdays, every single day. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.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 forget to be sad. I told my siblings exactly what I needed instead of hoping they'd notice and go slowly.โ
โI was right where you are in 2023. Sick days with no backup. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. xโ
โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. good enough is enough. keep going, even slowly.โ
