What I feel catches me is day starts very well, I let my guard down, some unexpected incident will flick the switch and thats where I get burnt. I then pull back for protection. I do need to protect my toddlers as they don't get the mood swings so I feel the need to also pull them to lunch or something to keep a smooth flow and change the energy.
I actually do well during those times, its after, especially just before sleeping that I need to process it to let it go.
I will plan my day and don't care if he joins in or not in what I am doing.
I get focus on me not him, but how to put more focus on me?
