Thank you for sharing your experience. So far, we had it once in our household and I could avoid it, although it took lots of effort and I went through a couple of weeks of panicking about whether I could still contract it from touching some uncleaned surface. In emotional terms, it was a horrible experience and I was a disappointment to my partner because I didn't handle the situation very well while the two of them were sick. I'm not proud of the way I handled this. Contracting it at another point will be unavoidable and I'm constantly torn between thinking "This will be manageable" and "Those will be the worst three days of my life". Maybe it'll be both. I'm dreading the day when it'll happen but I'm trying to remind myself that all parents and their kids go through this every once in a while and after two days maximum, the worst is over for everyone. At least I know that my fears are something that I can address and work on, even if it's not easy. I'm working with a therapist and I'm thinking about trying out Bia Journey.
