Yes, you should be expected to put the needs of your children first.
Yes, you should be expected to sacrifice greatly for their happiness.
No, this does not mean you should be expected to feel guilty about, or bury your valid, honest emotions.
No, you are not a bad parent for taking time to process and get your balance after life throws you a curve ball.
Yes, you should be supported and given a place to express these emotions as you work through them.
No, you should not be judged during this process.
God knows I'm not the same person I was 11 years ago. I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't found an outlet to process and express these things to a few people who get it.
What better lesson can you offer your kids than an example of your own personal growth?
