Sometimes the "I don't give a rip" mode is good. You can relax a little and not care about anything (except, of course, a sweet little 3-year old). Aaah, mine are all grown up but they are still precious to me! And not giving a rip can help you get on with your own stuff without worrying about what everyone else thinks. Definitely see your C--I think only good can come of that. A safe place to talk and feel.
I really think it's ok to not care for a little while. I think it is a survival tool for us. Just remember to act as if around her--like you haven't a care in the world and all is good for you! PATIENCE
