Yes, Bets and Wonka, without My H's push out of the nest, I'm not sure what would have happened. I was in a very dark place.

Betsey, I hope that whatever is causing your anxiety is lessening. My go to for that is meditation or simply, going back to the breath, even for just a few minutes.

It's interesting that you bring up the square peg round hole analogy because I feel that's what my battle has been with S22. I keep saying I'm going to let go and allow but I never really get there. I "allow" all the societal expectations of a 22 yr old male to stir me up and then I'm back to hammering.

I've consciously been taking a bit of break with him. Not going to appts, not reminding him of commitments. No judging him.

I have a tendency to be a harsh judge of others, especially in regard to parenting.

I'm careful about that now because I don't know the whole story, I don't know the challenges others face. And frankly, it's none of my business.

Thanks for dropping by.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
