I read this after having an emotional outburst at my husband and daughter which quickly led to me apologizing and telling them out loud the feelings I’m feeling right now. It’s all too much and it is exhausting to feel this much anger and pain all the time. I know that this amplified 10x for those living thru the biggest atrocities and I can’t imagine their pain. It’s too much for me and I really lost it this morning ❤️

Oh Jenny! I hear you. It’s too much.

But you want to know what jumped out immediately about what you said? You apologized and explained what is going on with your feelings.

That’s huge! That’s not something a lot of other people do with their spouses or their kids.

So I’m sending you a huge hug. I’m here for you

That’s the hardest part of it: our emotional distress is warranted, but the people who get the fallout are the ones we care about the most. You are not alone in that.💗
