What activities do you lose yourself in?
When you are a caretaker of a person you can’t let go of your guard. My son has severe behavior and sensory issues he needs a watchful eye all the time.
When I was in the hospital with my newborn younger one my dad was babysitting my special one. I called him for an update and then I told him what my boy would be doing. My dad was pretty surprised I was right.
Ever since the birth of my boy and his diagnosis I would say I have not immersed myself or lost myself in anything. Even if he is in the care of another person a portion of my thought process will be in an “on call mode”. By the way there is ton of PTSD associated with calls from school!
My husband keeps saying I should unwind myself. Yes, I do a lot of activities, attend classes yet I can’t let that go. Over the years my son is much more predictable and I know him well yet, I do not take that privilege!
For me and my boy it is “ Until Death do us apart”.
