As the parent of a specials needs kiddo, this hit, hard. Marriage is work on the best of days and on the worst days, it’s the thing I let go of. We have been in counseling before and I’m sure we will be again, at some point, because it’s tough, with a capital T!

You can’t know the struggle, unless you’ve been in it. My heart goes out to you.

I’m sure given the challenges, you showed up best as you could at the time. I hope you can forgive past when who saw what you saw and knew what you knew. Grace with learning and so much love to you

Very intimate reflection. ♥️ We are all doing the best we can given our capacity and capabilities at the moment. Self compassion, friend.

Makes me cry while reading. So Sorry! No regrets as you did your best and so did C.

Thanks for sharing.

During the marriage counseling, I kept saying, “I did my best but my best was not enough. Where does this take us?” (Sigh…)
