So once in awhile I'm going to take a break from talking about money and saving money and talk about my other passion, my family. My seventeen year old daughter has been struggling and was diagnosed last year with depression and anxiety. She also gets panic attacks. I have been working with several agencies and the school to try to help her along her path and anyone else has a child with an emotional disability knows what I mean. Today I was meeting with our in home therapist/Parent Coach and she gave me a little boost when she said "You know you are still in there advocating for your child and that is more than alot of families would be doing. Alot of parents at this point would say pack your bags, go get a job, good luck and be done."
So I guess I can let go of a little of the guilt over not being able to make everything sunshine and roses for my daughter. I didn't feel like the worst mother in the world today. Lord knows we have so much work still to do but I guess if I am still in the fight with her, all is not lost!
