I had a C visit today. We are working on my own issues of feeling like I have failed and my inability to forgive myself for those times. My sister keeps telling me I didn't fail with those particular instances, but I know that it's the feeling, not the knowing, that's the problem. (IE: I KNOW that these are not times I failed, but I feel like they are. ) The result of today's session was that I was really sad for a while, but by this afternoon I was feeling more calm. I can't tell if that calmness is b/c the therapy is working or just that I'm worn out from the sadness.
Anned,
You should give yourself a little more credit...you're dealing with this sitch as best as possible. If anything, the calmness will definitely help you cope. Just use the time to focus on your kids...they'll be thankful for it later on.
