And to put it all out there, I agree, it takes someone STRONG to do that. You know who you are, who you don’t want to be and that level of self-awareness is invaluable. Hang tough…

I am so sorry for what you are going through and yes it will be and is extremely tough.

Secondly, you ARE NOT the same person you once were. You have a self-awareness now that perhaps you didn’t have before. The mere fact that you’re able to realize who you are, that you like who you are, that you’re afraid of regressing… that awareness is there and won’t go away.

Be real through all of this. Of course you’re scared. You also need to realize your limitations & that you’re only human.

Your dad will find resources to help him through this. You can be there for him too. Listen. Love. You don’t have to be strong. Be who you are. Be proud of you.

Just be.

Also, find sources of strength all around you. You don’t have to carry this alone. Pull strength from the resources mentioned in yesterday’s post. Pull strength from those that are offering support. Relax and allow yourself to be held up.

We’re all holding you up.

Keep processing, sharing and doing what you need to do, to stay well. We’re here, rooting for you and ready to listen.

So good for you. This takes a lot of courage. I’m proud of you. :)
