Waving the white flag
I’m caving, at least temporarily. This afternoon has been a major emotional rollercoaster and I’m going to eat to make myself feel better. I know it’s a stupid response and I have been wrestling w/this for the last 30 minutes but I don’t have the mental strength to fight anymore. I’m not going to lose the war, just this battle.
What happened? Justin (our older son) went to a buddy’s house to play and the other boy misbehaved so Justin didn’t have a very good time. He came home in a bad mood and after a long series of conversations he started crying b/c we never go anywhere as a family. We’ll take just him somewhere or each of us will take him one-on-one but we don’t often take Kyle out b/c he’s too vulnerable to illness. I think this started b/c the boy he played w/has a little brother and even though they fought they were able to play together. So tomorrow we’re going to Panera for breakfast as a family. I never realized how much something so simple as going somewhere as a family would mean to him.
Sometimes things are just too hard to fight.
I feel for you, Brandie. I know how hard you work to do everything you can to keep things positive on the home front. I know it’s not easy. Hope Justin (and everyone else) enjoys the breakfast! Panera has some decent choices that shouldn’t give you a problem. Enjoy!

I am so sorry to hear this. It must be really hard to see that. I hope everything went well!
