Whatever it is that is going on in my gut and back, I am not myself.
I notice it at work, worse I am starting to notice it with my kids.
Usually I am patient, playful and joking with them, probably my best qualities as a parent, and my biggest fear right now, is that I am losing that part of myself.
If you have kids, how do you cope?
For reference, I have a four year old and a five year old, both girls.
Their mother is great, she has dealt with chronic illness of her own for years, so she can be sympathetic and down grade her expectations. Regardless, the thought of letting my ladies down is really eating at me.
