Another night without the boys

I have to admit after my doctor's appointment I was in a mood. I was very upset with myself and my head was spinning with all this anxiety and anger.

I really don't even remember what I was doing but I hear Joel say his x is going to keep the boys another night.

I was kinda surprised. I'm sure our youngest is wearing her out by now. My tiny tornado.

He walks into the room and says come on let's go

Where are we going?

The cigar lounge

By Star isn't here we can't leave Sissy

Grandma is here let's go.

I don't argue and I follow him out

We Uber to the lounge. We get a cigar and whiskey and have a set.

My mind is all over the place I actually think he's going to leave me. I wouldn't blame him. I'm a never ending mess.

So what ever you are thinking stop it.

I'm sorry

You have no reason to be sorry. When I had my panic attack the other night did you get mad at me

No, it wasn't your fault

When Sissy had her bad night, did you get mad at her

No it wasn't her fault

When bubby is full of energy and is having a hard time calming down do you get mad at him.

No it's not his fault.

So this is not your fault either. Don't get mad at yourself for something you can't help.

I am sorry

No, don’t apologize. This isn’t your fault.
No one should ever have had to go through what you did—especially not alone.
No one’s taken the time to truly help you heal.
Until now.

You’ve spent so long putting everyone else first. But now it’s your turn to be first. Let me be the one to show up for you.
I’m not going anywhere—so you might as well let me help.


We have a long talk. About what he's going to do to help me. And how I am going to let him. He knows this month was been a lot. So much stress, our vacation, him getting hurt, everything going on with Sissy, buying a house. We're taking another day off work. A day to chill, and focus on what we need to do.
I even rescheduled our appointments we had to Thursday so we'll have nothing planned.

I don't know what to think, why he's still here with me. I don't deserve him at all. But he thinks I do so who am I to argue with him.

It just comes to show that Joel cares deeply about you and you care deeply for him. There's definitely lots of stress because of the vacation, the new house and the medical appointments. In the long run, you'll two will be there for each other and for your kids.

@Barefooter25 you are right. I just have to stop not letting him help me. I always feel like it's not his job to fix my crazy. I've been doing this on my own for so long and I'm failing at it. He shouldn't have to do this. But I can't keep thinking that way. I just don't know how to not

@4meAndyou I know I just got to get though this week and get moved into the new house and I think things will be better

@Cigarguy101 Remember, moving is one of the most stressful things ever. IF...and that's a big IF...you have a meltdown during or after the move, that is entirely normal.

@4meAndyou yes I know, I'm trying my best to not let that happen
