Getting overwhelmed again. Not so much with my husband but with my daughter. She is definitely in the terrible two's and has gotten worse with everything that is going on, which is completely understandable. I have very little patience lately and am always tired. I don't have any time to do anything for myself because me and husband are working opposite shifts.
Wow, I can relate with you so much on this. It's so important for you to have that time to yourself and if you're not getting it, everything seems so much worse. You need time to work on YOU. How can you get some time to yourself right now? I think it should be a big priority for you... even if it is for a night. Don't hesitate to ask for help from family with babysitting if that's an option for you because GAL is going to be one of your life lines right now.
All mom's need a break, especially when going through something extremely traumatizing. D is definitely traumatizing.
If you're not able to get a babysitter, then at least make it a point to have some great playdates planned out with friends that have kids. Get some adult interaction and bond with D2 more.
Hope this helps!
