@ohBananaJoe You don’t have to be strong all the time, I’d even say the real strength is allowing yourself to breakdown when it gets too much, let it all out. And then remember you’re not alone and that somehow it’ll get better. To truly appreciate light, you need to have known darkness.
Hang in there, there is support all around you!

@ohBananaJoe I think you should allow yourself some slack. Nobody is perfect, nobody is strong all the time. Not even your father. Like you said about yourself, sometimes it breaks down, when nobody is noticing. This does not apply only to you. And writing this for us to read is definitely not weakness.

@ohBananaJoe @maique Man, I can very much relate to this, very often your kids are so lovely and good to you that you think you don’t deserve such treatment or affection from them. Which is why I putting effort into learning from them and be more like them, even towards other larger humans. And with the tears, the older I get the more I cry, the more I let myself open to those emotions.

@ohBananaJoe Thank you for writing this. It is ok not to be everything. The important thing is to love them and be there for them. WIth everything going on in this crazy world of our, it’s hard to hold in all of our feelings and be srong. You aren’t the only one stressed out.
