The daily struggle

Join

I feel like I am drowning. I can barely take a breath before I am pushed under the water again. All my energy, physical and emotional, goes to try and meet the needs of our precious sons. There is only a little left for hubby and me. I am withdrawing again and even though I need them the most, friends don't reach out to me and I don't have the courage to reach out to them in fear of them letting me down again.
