Hi Framily! In today's episode, I open up about my journey with PTSD and the challenges I face in everyday situations, particularly when it comes to driving. After losing my son Ethan in a tragic car accident in 2011, I've grappled with intense panic and anxiety every time I get behind the wheel.

Today, I faced a pivotal moment when my partner Kyle expressed his need for rest instead of joining our youngest, Eli, on a trip to see live camels. With recent events weighing heavily on my heart, including the loss of a relative in a car crash, I felt the familiar wave of fear wash over me. However, instead of succumbing to my old patterns, I chose to honor my feelings and allow Eli to experience disappointment.

Join me as I read my blog aloud, sharing how I navigated this emotional landscape, the importance of allowing our children to feel their feelings, and how we all can support each other through our struggles. Together, we'll explore the idea that sometimes, the best choice for our family is simply to take a step back and exist together in the moment.

I’m grateful you’re here with me .
