@stooge@438punk.house I don't know that I can say anything to help.
It is hard. It will stay hard. Focus on the three goals of parenting: when they grow to adulthood, they should a) be alive, b) not be in prison, c) know you love them. Everything beyond that is a bonus.
In the hardest times, focus on (c). It measures success.

@gabe@mendeddrum.org @stooge@438punk.house You're so right. Those were all we had sometimes. We were often reminded to d) get a little distance when necessary.
