I Want to Be Positive About Life

I been on the brink of tears for three days.... then my son threw his hat at me and it hit me in the face and I bawled uncontrollably for 10 minutes!

Poor kid!

I had to explain that it didn't hurt that bad it's just that Mom has been on the brink for days and that just set me over the edge. He hugged me and consoled me.

I really love my boys! Right now life is so stressful and painful, we have to be there for one another. I felt bad that my reaction was over the top for the situation but I needed the cry.

I hope to get past this feeling soon.

I'm sorry you are having a tough time, but at least two things were accomplished:

1) You got some of the stress out emptying your tear reservoir

2) Your son will think long and hard before he throws another hat at a woman.

Sometimes, the smallest fissure instigates the dam's collapse.

Most often, our trigger is tiny, unexpected, and otherwise unconnected to the larger stressors at hand. It's unexpected and frightening, as we suddenly burst our banks.

Coaxing us toward healing we'd otherwise have missed,
it's an opportunity to grieve, pour out our soul, and reset to face another day.

Your son is caring and intuitive, wise beyond his years. You have a good team. Hang in there.

I've been there! People will say you're being "dramatic" or "overreacting" but its just the result of things adding up then you lose it over something seemingly small. Hope things get better for you Dear 💜
