I need support this week big time!

Kids can be very loving.

I try and make it clear that I notice when my son is caring. Tonight he made ravioli again. He is learning to take up responsibility. It doesnt hurt them to be responsible and kind.

He made a note to himself to "be more kind". My heart just melted when I read that.

How many children do you have?

It helps that they are settled in school .. it gives them more opportunities for the future. Our kids are our lives, but we also need to do self care as well.

WHat kind of music do you like?

I am not sure what to write to keep conversation going ...sorry I dont want to trigger or upset you.

I kind of get what you mean. For a long time I used to say that "I couldnt afford to get a cold". When I finally started to get colds again after the kids were in high school my body was going back to normal.

EMDR was recommended for me, but I didnt have spare money at the time. It probably opened up pain in an undifferentiated way ... ie that you couldnt relate the feeling to particular incident and make sense of it. Does your psychiatrist hep you put together your personal jigsaw ... of life ... complex PTSD ... usully means that there are many events to process ...
