[quote=Anonymous]OP I’m with you. I think it’s ok to feel your feelings. Do what you have to do.

When I go to therapy I have this tremendous guilt of “yes, but first world problems I should be happy I’m not in a war zone…”. And my therapist tells me that my feelings are valid too. Just because your issues are different doesn’t mean you shouldn’t having feelings.

Eventually I had to make a choice. I started cut out a lot of long term friends because they didn’t get it. They would match stories of “my kid almost died and will never fully recover” with “Larlo was forced to decide between soccer and basketball because they are both on Wednesdays. Can you imagine how hard it is for us to choose?!”

They cant be responsible for my feelings and I can’t be of theirs. Perspective is subjective.

I also hate the superparent SN trope. I don’t want to live in this idolized saint mode. I’m not doing what I do because I’m a martyr - I’m doing what I do because it’s my responsibility to keep a tiny human alive. Its pressure none of us need to add to our plate.
