I Feel So Disconnected From Everyone And Everything Some Days

It's not a good place to be, especially when you have the responsibility of being a parent. Today I want to retreat from this world, but in a couple of short hours I have to pick my kids up from their dad's house. Their weekend with him has been cut short because of an o/seas business trip, which means my time to recharge has been diminished also. It's a horrible feeling - the stress and anxiety of picking up your own children. I love them, but when I am feeling this way I really need to be alone and the thought of having to parent increases my stress levels sky high.

I [b][i]*feel*[/i][/b] disconnected, but in this day and age it is almost impossible to fully disconnect. I suppose I 'feel' disconnection to my 'pack' because of choices I've made. I am quite certain those around me, don't understand me and that is a fair point, because sometimes I hardly understand myself. But I think the problem is that I'm not neat. I can't be pigeon-holed. This is a conundrum for the people around me and is what increases the space between them and me when what I really need is for those people to draw nearer to me.

I'm resilient, not strong. I crave to have at least one relationship in my life where I am the nurtured, not the carer. Oh how wonderful that would be!
