[quote=Anonymous]I am going to share something posted on Facebook by a friend of mine who is also a therapist: Parents of kids under 5 (and over 5): You're not crazy, you're not inadequate, you're not whining. After almost two years of this insanity, there is nothing left in the reserves. Trying to work and parent at the same time (forget about being a partner, a friend, a family member, or even being kind to yourself), is impossible within the structures we live in and yet, we keep doing it. Never has the phrase, "squeezing blood from a stone," felt more appropriate and nearly literal. As I've said over and over to clients, you'll do it because you have to, but it comes at a cost. The world may not respect that cost, but you should at least respect it of yourselves. This comes after nearly an entire week of listening to folks who are on the brink of or drowning in despair. COVID sucks.[/quote]
