Hi @Former-Member
Wow, interesting post.. I think there is some truth in not becoming too .. soft (not sure thats the right word) and getting back into the real world but we have to be ready to as well... I know for me I need to be busy, and doing stuff because other wise i over think things and ruminate. I need external goals that I have to move towards to motivate me.
But i think its also really important to know about our limits, and how much we can handle.. It's not easy being a mum and having mi and everything else that goes with those things. Need to have some kindness towards ourselves as well to help us get through.
Hugs!

I'm not sure we've met, welcome to the forums, its great to have you hear. Sounds like you have a huge amount of responsibility that you're juggling on your own without much moral support at all from your partner. Not easy, I hope you find some support here on the forums,
take care,
lj
