MyPTSD Pro
Ok, in many ways this isn’t MY accomplishment but I had a hand in it.
I was struck the other day by what my kids are doing.
The youngest just graduated from undergrad. She’s setting off to apply for grad school so she can be a speech therapist after watching me deal with my TBI and seeing what speech therapy did for me.
The middle child, aka the kid, is in grad school in GERMANY. They did that all by themselves (mostly) and they are mostly self sufficient
The eldest child is also in grad school and has an A in his classes. That is tenuous, as he’s waiting to hear if he got the assistantship he desperately needs to continues. But he’s DOING IT. He’s a wildlife scientist and trying to save the planet.
The point however is that they all are functioning adults- probably despite me. But partially because I managed to keep them alive for better than 18 years.
Small victories for me. Huge for them
