I know you're scared right now. That's okay. Just know that you are not alone. You have your boyfriend, your kids, your treatment team, and of course you always have us.

Try to step out of yourself for just a moment. Imagine that one of your children needed to give up a security item. How would you help them? What would you say? Treat your inner child the way you would treat your physical children. Be gentle with yourself.
