Wow, it must have felt so so so good to get that validation. To know that it's okay to be in both places....to love your kids and be happy to be with them AND to feel overwhelmed and just plain pissed off at having to make so many changes. Both of those things can be there at the same time, and it makes so much sense that they would be there right now during this crazy transition you're going through.

And for me, just being able to admit it, instead of pushing it away, takes away some of the power and starts to calm the harder feelings down, a lot.

Those moments when we realize that T just plain old CARES are so powerful. I'm glad you got to feel that today.
