Love your honesty about the intense ups and downs of parenting. If it helps at all, I wish I was your kid! I hope you can take a moment each day to acknowledge the love, attention and enrichment you are providing. I have no doubt it's making a BIG difference in his life.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment, and I should make more of an effort to acknowledge each day that what we're doing is really good for him and for all of us. Being really open and vulnerable about the good and bad times has been kind of cathartic for me. I find that it also brings other parents out of the woodwork who want to share the hard feelings they often feel a bit nervous to admit to publicly, and there's something really lovely about those moments of connection.
Absolutely. It sounds like a net positive situation, which is really a huge win since life is a shit show.
