(((((((sweepy)))))))

I homeschool too, and when I first started therapy, we REALLY stuck with the basics. Because it DOES take a lot of energy, and that's hard to come by when we're a little unraveled from therapy.

Things gradually got better...a LOT better. Be gentle with yourself. It won't feel like this forever.

And...some homeschooling reassurance...my oldest was homeschooled from K through 8th grade. We were pretty relaxed homeschoolers...no boxed curriculum, etc...and he always scored in the top percentile on standardized tests and was accepted into a very competitive program in a high school near us...where he's a freshman getting As in AP and honors classes. The things that happened in our lives that derailed school temporarily...my dad's illness, starting therapy, etc...didn't derail his LEARNING. And he learned other important lessons during those times that aren't in books. Trust yourself and trust your kids. I bet you are doing a great job.
Thanks for this!
