I Pretend I'm Okay

I have to pretend. I have to keep up a certain level for my job, and for my kids.I can't let either of those know even a quarter of how broken I am.

what a great way to show your love for your family by lying to them.

@sighmeupforthat giving into the way I feel and letting them see that would be selfish and quite the opposite of showing my love for them. Continuing to pretend to be the strong one is showing my love.

@Lostinthefog I agree, kids don't understand a parent being upset and it will affect them badly.
