OMG! Busting Out All Over the Place!

Hi Lynda...if you feel like looking at one more post, here it is. I say ditto to everyone here, of course, and especially...wait for it...Adrienne. Her suggestion of talking with your kids is the key to being heard. Otherwise, they really don't have a clue that you even have needs. You are such a dear person full of love and I believe that is your approach. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and like taking flight from your own life, be that LOVE instead. Love and trust the kids enough to believe they would support you in your needs as well. If we don't give our kids a chance to grow up then they won't. You are my hero, even now in this differently stressful time for you. I know you have the capacity to negotiate a new and grownup relationship with Amy and her son. Ask them for help too. Give yourself the gift of open dialogue. You are an empowered individual full of love. You are playful and a beacon of light. Remember that dear one. Hugs
