I've been married for nearly 11 years and we mostly communicate well despite there having been many stressors over the years we've been together.
I have 3 great kids, though we're still at that hard work stage because they're quite young - 12, 9 and 6. They bicker quite regularly but do love each other. I do feel I'm fairly in tune with them and hopefully doing a good enough job of being mum.
I have some wonderful friends, here and IRL but not many IRL know much of what I'm going through. I do believe they would absolutely be there for me but I'm not very good at letting that brick wall down.
My immediate family, I am ashamed to say, I am avoiding right now. Lots of stuff to work through there.
