I work in home health, usually with the elderly, and sometimes with children. I have been caring for a special needs child. His parents have to work all day today. After giving me their updates and telling me I did not have to sit here all day (I can take the child out to the.....park, etc, they said they trusted me to do whatever I needed to do to keep the child and I occupied and happy. Well, this slammed my emotions. If the situation were reversed I would want the aide to STAY HOME with my child. I am not sure why but I feel overwhelming guilty that they trust me. Well, yes, they can trust me. But hearing those words has very much triggered me. I cannot understand why. My anxiety has gone into high gear.
