Alone time is crucial. Becoming an emergency.

I haven’t had time to myself in eight months. My son, though wonderful, is up my butt 24/7 and I’m desperate to be alone. I’m mostly introverted so it’s been really difficult to engage with him at his whim and have zero space to think, meditate or create for myself. It’s brought out a bit of anger and resentment in the form of shorter patience. I know he’s had enough of vanlife, so have I and we’re only a few weeks away from having a house again, but damn I just want to sit on my own and cry without someone looking at me or needing or pulling, pushing, testing me all the damn time. I wish he would understand he’s not doing anything wrong, I’m just not an extroverted eight year old with oodles of energy and so much to complain about. But what can I do…His dad now has no car and has to have surgery on his foot because of being a sedentary blob…
