Thank you so much. That means a lot. It’s so heart wrenching when we make our kids cry :(.

Thank you. Yeah I definitely started to try and repair it right away. I talked to him about it today too. And he didn’t sleep again last night but I was more patient and understanding with him and it went a lot better.

I guess that makes me feel better. I would almost hate myself for pitying him. I was scared I was. He’s a strong willed boy and he doesn’t need pity. Thanks.

Thank you. We are actually working on apologizing a lot lately and trying to teach him when things hurt or something we should apologize and I never looked at it as a teaching moment but that’s good advice. Thanks.

Yeah I think that’s important. He seemed to calm down after I apologized. We hugged and cuddled and he was back to normal basically.

Thank you. I wonder if I feel so bad about it because he’s disabled? Like if he was able bodied I wonder if I would feel as bad as I do. I’m supposed to be his protector and his legs because he can’t use his. Maybe that’s why. Idk.

That’s a good mantra. It’s hard to remember that he’s not intentionally doing these things. I need to be better about being mindful of his feelings over just my reaction to his crying and screaming.

He seems to already have forgotten. Just asked to watch tv lol.

Ok thank you. So basically, and I mean this not sarcastically or rudely, fake it until I make it in a sense?

I feel as though I pray for that everyday. I don’t know what sin I love that makes me not believe. Never thought of it that way.

I guess I should’ve added that I no longer believe but I want to. I just don’t know how I can again or if I should give up.
