As a parent I want to give my kids a better life than I have had. By the age my kids are I have been all around the country for sports and to vacation resorts. However my anxiety, fears and mood swings make me very fearful to travel. I feel like my issues are hurting my kids. I know I need to get over these fears to give my kids more opportunities. I know they are happy and not every family travels and such but it is just something I am hung up on.

We traveled a lot as kids too and that's just not possible for my family. Yeah we visit family out of the area but that's not really vacation. Maybe look into day or weekend trips. Something you're still in driving distance from home. Maybe a campsite for a day, or a trip to a hotel pretend you're tourists, maybe bring there friends with you. Something that you can keep your routine.

What kind of opportunities are you trying to provide them with? I mean what opportunities are you talking about regarding resorts and vacations?
