Remember that pivotal scene from Sophie's Choice where Meryl Streep's character has to make the agonizing decision involving her two children? She doesn't want to. We as the audience don't want her to have to. Neither choice is good or fair. In fact it's horrible. Whatever she decides brings pain to someone she loves. In the end she does the best she can under the circumstances she was given. Then she has to live with the judgment that decision brings.
You know what? Even when the decision isn't life or death, it still sucks to be caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
You hope that people will assume the best of you. You hope that they'll understand your need for self-care.
Unfortunately, hoping can't make it so. So I guess I'll just hang in there.
OMG Cute kitten pictures? I'm doing worse than I thought.

Zen and the art of mental health maintenance

4 reasons to keep on blogging:
I love you.
I want peace for you. I want peace for the whole ding dang universe... most of all, right NOW, I want healing. For me, for you, for our kids, for our community. There's a way, Mary, one we just can't yet see, for it all to be as it should be and we'll be at peace. I just know it. I have faith.
And lots of love.
I'm sending my hugs and love out there. Hope for understanding, open communication, patience, and peace.
I hope you're feeling better soon.
Sending you all my positive mental health vibes (I'm going to spare you the dysfunctional ones) your way. I won't pelt you with platitudes...sometimes life is just sucky. I hope things turn around and you feel better soon.
I just lost the first message I tried to post, which is probably good, since I was telling you what a crappy night I have had (daughter-minor-car-accident/husband-not-protective-daddy-I-WANT-him-to-be-WHY-CAN'T-PEOPLE-ACT-LIKE-I-WANT-THEM-TO???).
Ahem. Sorry.
Anyway, Mary. I wish I had something comforting to write you. Your insight and humor have helped me many times in the past here and on the old unschooling boards. I'm making an effort to breathe and raise my spirits and not sink into the mire, as I do sometimes. Sending some of the raised stuff your way. :)
