Costella- as caregiver to your son, you must take care of yourself first. and give yourself a respiete. despite loving your son deeply, you must still get a break from it all just for you. ( a bubble bath comes to mind) some soft music and a glass of wine.
my own mother does what she can to help me, but she always takes time for herself, even if that is perceived as being selfish. ( a bit offf thread topic, sorry)
when i go out into my community, i see that most people arre still helpful and do not act or behave in "odd" ways. the people do care. sometimes, you just have to observe and take away the feeling of hope in our unpredictable times. take care,
costello, do something fun with your son if you can. simplicity is a good thing.
