oh im still beat to shit. but i pace myself. truth is you are on duty forever and responsible for your descendant lines and cannot chill enough to recharge. eventually the kids get more capable and less suicidal and your routines help to carry you through. my kid is 5 and its much better than a couple of years ago.

Haha yeah, she's just learned to ~~walk~~ RUN but hasn't learned any self-preservation at all. She's a happy little one and sleeps great which is incredible, but that constant on-edge stress and constant need to make sure she feels loved, acknowledged, validated and happy I think wears me down.
