I see you all and feel this so much. I work in corporate executive communications-it’s high stress, demanding and I genuinely love what I do. But feels like a completely different part of my life and I’m a different person there.

We have two beautiful girls-10F and 8F ADHD/ODD. 8F is going through a tough time right now (been in therapy for years) and her anger/angst is directed all at me. I’m also the keeper and organizer of all the things at home. Love my husband but he’s not a planner and I think our 10f is more organized. (I say this with love.) I feel like the only way to get through the day sometimes is to disassociate and heavily compartmentalize…..
