I still have a lot of big emotions. I still feel stuck. I think it comes from all the changes this path of divorce and single parenting requires. Changes that I don't always feel in control of or like I'm directing. Emotions like loss and anxiety. A stuckness about being in limbo, between married and divorced, and not knowing what the future will be for me and Little N. Emotions that tend to flood me and wash me off of my chosen course.
And it's all ok. I'm learning that I can feel big emotions and take care of myself at the same time. Taking care of myself maybe the only realm I really have control of right now. And taking care of myself is good for both me and Little N. The better I get at feeling my big emotions while continuing to take good care of myself, the more full, real, and healthy I will be for today and for the future we grow into.
So it's good work that I want to continue. Good work that is still important to me, despite (or proven by) a two-week setback.
