Parenting is a challenging endeavor, even on a good day. On the days that are so very far from good, it's a Herculean task for the heart. Right now is beyond far from good, and I've never known a helpless feeling this strong.
All I can say is this-- we love our children, and we do whatever we can to support them. Sometimes, that's simply not enough. Sometimes, we need to seek help in ways that we never imagined we'd be doing, and yet, there we are. We continue to do whatever we can, whatever it takes. We just keep going, because as exhausted as we are, we have no other option.
We have to keep telling ourselves that it's all going to be okay, and ever since hearing this song in a cafeteria the other day, the mantra repeating in my head at least has an accompanying tune.
