I have always been emotionally open... I feel a little embarrassment when coworker see me cry, or the general public, but I let it out freely... So I am pretty good there. But thank you for your concern.
I am doing better with the kids, but still feel a little anxious. I "think" that will go away once I am back in my house, someplace comfortable, where we can tackle activities together.
Zephyr, yeah, I am trying to get through this journey. I think sometimes I am focusing on it too much, other times I'm not allowing it to pass or I'm making it worse by fighting it.
The kids are bringing the stuff up, not me. I try to avoid the subject unless answering a direct question from them, and I try to keep the answers to them clear and neutral. Like the example of S11 getting blamed by others in school, and he brings up W saying that I am blaming her. W was not the subject, S11 and classmates was. I am not sure if he is trying to help me, trying to help her, or struggling with his own understanding of the D. I think I am doing OK at that part, not perfect, but OK.
It is bitter cold, so I won't be getting out for my long awaited activity... Dang it! Tomorrow I plan to visit a friend I haven't seen in a couple years, help him out with some of his projects.
