I am not failing as a mother because I work and I don't homeschool or at least be there when the bus arrives at 2:30 (or what ever). My kids have gained social skills, education on things I wouldn't have thought of, additional therapy advice, etc. I still get to do fun things with them but my sanity is a little more intact than if I was the "perfect" mom. I'm just not perfect, the stress would kill me.chris w.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01956991120538576940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836394109152759629.post-32024468212288758722013-11-18T16:21:08.417-08:002013-11-18T16:21:08.417-08:00augh....I have let go of a few things, but have to...augh....I have let go of a few things, but have to continue letting go day after day because it is truly so easy to get sucked back into the old routine of having to "fix" everything and advocate for things that my kids may "need" but will never utilize to their advantage since they are so stuck in their illness. I take it all way.... too personally.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836394109152759629.post-7432373128442109412013-11-17T08:47:45.320-08:002013-11-17T08:47:45.320-08:00I understand.
