[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 754445, member: 23405"] Ms Lulu I’m sorry for the heaviness you’re feeling. We put so much focus on the behavior of our adult children and it feels like we shouldn’t or can’t be happy unless they are thriving or doing the right things. It’s so important for us to remember to take care of ourselves. To check in with ourselves and make sure we are ok. I’m hoping for a better day. Yesterday for me was hijacked by the phone message from verbally abusive, self righteous son. I couldn’t wait to go to bed because I couldn’t shake off the knots that I had all day. I think the holidays do put added stress on us but we have to remember they contain the same number of hours as any other day and for myself to try to normalize it rather than think because it is a special time of year that all my troubles will disappear. Focusing on the true meaning of Christmas rather than the commercial hype helps too. I hope you are better today. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself not waiting for others to do so.
