Self sacrifice...I am tired just reading this post. Self sacrifice is a difficult and challenging. And the cost factor is important. What does it serve? Who does it serve? Thank you for sharing these words - I look forward to hearing more.

It sounds like you are definitely juggling a lot of plates, along with a lot of worries about how your children will turn out as they progress into adults so I would gently encourage you to PLEASE make time for good self care. As a child of divorce with a selfish 'non participating' father and funcitonal but emotionally unavailable mother, the best thing you can do for your children is to role model GOOD SELF CARE, to take care of your inner spirit and mental health. Your children will see the HEALTHY BEHAVIOR as 'normal' and begin to practice it for themselves, and we need more healthy, emotionally stable people who practice self care in the world! As a meme I recently saw on Facebook states: 'people who love themselves (and others) don't act like a$$holes'.<br />Thank you for sharing your story (and previous reverb posts!) here - looking forward to seeing the rest of your reverb posts ahead!The Creative Beasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650011991825745500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089753435429700179.post-90965391575429214702015-12-05T03:02:07.585-06:002015-12-05T03:02:07.585-06:00Wow - this is a powerful post.
