Rest, safety, rest, doing nice 'me' things. Oh my goodness you make me want to cry at how you are holding things together. If it helps at all, I want to say, I notice and I know. It is so tiring, even without all the parts/alters. You are amazing Moms and I know of the anti-social ones and the negotiators and they are all important. Well done both and all of us.
The Mom of our irl chlldren had to take a huge break when the children went on to university, got married etc. She did take us to counselling and then went inside. It was a bit baffling at first. Then we started to understand why she went inside to rest. We never understood why there had to be so much 'rest' time. It was hard to get that rest but it was more important than the social times.
You are really doing 'good' things and I hope we remember that this too shall pass. Having a network of good supports for me was essential. Husband, aunts, other mothers, preschools, mom and tot groups. It really does take a community. When the husband got sick I think we split several times again but still working on that area of things.
Much care going out to you, each and everyone and to ourselves too.
